It's repeated time and again that it's difficult to test whether an anti-aging solution works on humans because of the time it takes for a human to age.
I'm skeptical that there aren't easier, quicker ways to determine this, especially in older individuals. Are there not specific biomarkers that can be looked at?
If there were a much faster way to determine whether a certain substance is working, we could bypass most of the rat testing and get right down to human testing.
There have been a couple of teenagers recently who discovered ways to test for things like cancer with a hair sample and other simple ways to test for things. Surely with all we know now about telomeres, NAD+, etc, there's something that can be measured to determine whether someone is actually getting older biologically or not, even in the space of a few months.
What do you guys think?
