Superdrug Being Developed for Elimination of Diabetes

Thu, 11 Feb 2010
A super-drug is being developed that could eliminate diabetes, Alzheimers and heart disease and enabled people to live to 100.

Their research is based on the identification of three genes that promote long and healthy lives and prevent diseases of aging.

Medically manipulating the proteins made by the 'longevity genes' will allow millions to live longer, predicts Nir Barzilai, a prominent geneticist.

Groundbreaking research: Dr Nir Barzilai with one of his study participants.

Individuals whose DNA strongly features the three genes are 80 per cent less likely to develop Alzheimer's. Genetic inheritance also protects against the impact obesity, smoking, a poor diet and lack of exercise .
