Kenyon's Ageless Quest

Researchers changed a gene involved in insulin-like signals, which help control growth and energy use, in tiny roundworms. The altered worms lived about twice as long as usual and stayed healthy for more of their lives. The researchers also found that another gene helped produce this effect. The work was done in worms, not people, and did not test a supplement or treatment.

What this means for you: This does not show that changing the same pathway will extend human life. You can ignore products claiming this research proves they slow aging, because no human benefit was tested.
