How is a write-up on glomerular pressures in various types of genetically modified rats pertinent to the efficacy of rapamycin as an "anti-aging" drug?
Talking about Metformin, Here is the context.

I used to think that, but the same doctor does have some concerns about Metformin when used as an anti-aging drug.
One doctor?

Why do you feel that a blog, written by someone with no formal research or medical background or training, should be viewed as an authoritative source?
You should watch the video. The references are in the description.

Ok... how is a write-up on glomerular pressures in various types of genetically modified rats pertinent to the efficacy of metformin as an "anti-aging" drug?
It'd be faster for you to just tell me why you feel that a blog, written by someone with no formal research or medical background or training, should be viewed as an authoritative source?

It is not authoritative, but at least there is no bias.

Forgive me, it is simply one of the references in the video. You should watch it.

I believe that you should likely reevaluate this.
He's a guy who goes by "Reason" (even in his professional life -- seriously, try to find his "real" name), and profiteers off of non-pharmaceutical therapies that have no clinical trials or backing -- or as his company likes to polish the turd, "preclinical biotechnology." You'd think that might cause a
teensy bias towards a patented pharmaceutical.

There may be something to the research itself, but this guy screams scam artist.

Okay. Well, it really doesn't matter. "Fight aging" blog is simply an extra reference.

No no no no no. The guy you are supposed to watch is Dr. Stanfield. Stanfield has the testicles to admit when he is wrong about something. Some of his older videos are labeled "out of date".

The other guy is the CEO of a
preclinical biotechnology company. His "fight aging" blog is simply an extra-reference.
Dr. Stanfield is a medical doctor with a lot of integrity, and you might benefit from watching his videos because he might help you live longer.

"Repair Biotechnologies is a
preclinical biotechnology company focused on developing drugs for cholesterol and aging-related diseases."
In other words, the company is funded by the rich.
