Let's face it, friends; genetics is THE KEY. You owe your longevity to your ancestors. You can certainly work at improving your odds, and likely will do so- but if your father and grandfather both died of heart attacks in their 40s- that's not a good sign of living to 80. There is, in fact, too much info out there about too many supplements. I wonder how much of it is the placebo effect and how much of it is the supplement. One day you read that coffee is bad, the next that it improves "a" and "b." The next that it increases cancer of the "c." And round and round the wheel goes- where it stops- well- it don't stop! I like to think that taking a multi and other supplements help me- but mayhaps this IS just a placebo effect. I don't think that all drug companies are evil and have doctors paid off and in their back pockets. I don't think all supplement companies are God's gift to humanity and their only reason for being is magnanimity.
Bottom line is you pays your money and takes your chances. But, boy, there sure is a whole lotta money that can be paid and a whole lotta chances that you can take. I guess the old axiom to "look before you leap" applies here. Good luck to us all, may we not simply thin only our wallets in our quest for health!
