WOW!
Yeah, so much for Mr. Sinclair. Harvard should fire him.
Oh I think he won't mind that.

I was trying to find a print version of what he has to say.
I don't know if this helps but you can get a raw transcript from YouTube.
Thanks. I kind of wonder why so many you tube presentations are so long when they could just say what they need to say in a few minutes if they would just write a few paragraphs. I guess I can see why he would want to provide all the pertinent information.
I agree. At 13 minutes this one is not bad, but so many go on for an hour or two and it is not clear that they've got worthwhile information.
Actually I think this video was better than most because he doesn't ramble and he presents very important information.
Truly makes me fearful of buying any supplement at all!
WOW, eye opener 👀
stopped resveratrol a few weeks ago... glad to have this info, but now I'm questioning my other supplements... the real sad thing is that money is the underlying issue and no one seems to be talking about that
I always tell my kids to follow the money trail when doing research and put less consideration (or none) into the studies where someone tends to make money! A shame a Harvard scientist is so corrupt! You cant trust anyone ;( We take some inherent risk when taking non-sFDA approved supplements (heck the FDA doesn't even have my full trust). I try to read as many studies as I can regarding any given supplement or rx before I start taking. Very immoral, sort of like the people that show up out of nowhere on this forum and start touting some miracle cure.
I followed this back about 10 years ago. And thought there was something extremely fishy about the science and about the inability to reproduce, it was fairly public enough information that you could do see the conflict of interest. And I know I said something in one of my posts here a few years ago about resveratrol being useless and they're being in the major conflict of interest for that scientist. Just yesterday I said something about reproducibility, decently designed controls etc. sure it looks like the picture being painted is the guy is another Sackler. It sure sounds from this video that he knew exactly what he was doing. Supplements. Well he got his $750 million and he's doing it again and getting away with it I guess it's the message we're supposed to get and I find it pretty credible. Now it turns out it isn't even harmless, it's highly toxic and this guy has been making big money to get the drug company that he got to buy him out to poison people. "Oh you have to use 5,10, 20 times the dosages." Thank you Harvard medical school lab directing professors. Here's, here's my magic elixir, it's a supplement so you goodbye as much of it as you want with nobody telling you you can't, buy it in concentrated highly absorbable form and it will lengthen your life by 30% because it did on these cells and it did on these little animals that we first directed people to poison so that actually all they did was get better from the heavy overdoses of poisons, nothing to do with longevity. Oh, if you use it the way my directions say, the evidence is it will destroy your kidneys quickly, but really it's a supplement so I'll be fine even if you get hurt or worse, that's the main thing and all the big money I can get out of it, because I'm such a good salesman. I guess that's the message. I don't think incompetence gets you to run a Harvard lab for 25 years. If I were damaged by this guy I sure think the inference is there that he knew exactly what he was doing.
Meanwhile I totally lost the battle to convince my wife that this was all a bunch of crap, and all of her family as well, although the only one who drinks is my wife, and she took up one because she had heard all this about resveratrol. Thank goodness the latest information on alcohol is at very small amounts are dangerous to your health now, so that's convinced her to lay off.
We still will not eat Indian food and turmeric even though we love them, because of the adulterations of lead put there to make it more yellow by some actors. Just a little curry power now and then to make deviled eggs.
And did anybody happen to catch the news a few weeks ago about the generic eye drops marketed by the four biggest drugstore chains in the country that turn out to have infected people because of unsafe preparation and all from the same main source in India to all of them, some people have even died or had their eyeballs surgically removed to save their lives. I think if you do a little looking the news you'll find it, I think I made a copy of a recent mention from one of those YouTube ophthalmologists revising his patients to stay away from those and use branded products for their eye drops and tears and irrigating solutions. That were recalled but I think that was quite some time ago you're supposed to just destroy it or bring it back to where you bought it. All of it manufactured in India. If I can find the video I'll put it up if anybody wants.
Between supplements and big pharma business, as my dad used to say "they get you coming and going." I don't know anybody, including me, who doesn't use at least a few supplements.
Ms. P, So true.
I did read that about eye drops.
I'm coming to the decision, in my old age, of giving up much of my stack -- as we cannot count on these studies. See my recent post re B3.
You beat me to posting this Marc! A few points:
1: Per the video, Resveratrol does not work for anything and may be bad for you.
2: Sinclair took an already existing supplement , Resveratrol, tweaked it so he could patent it, lobbied the FDA to ban the natural form of Resveratrol, and then made a fortune on his tweaked version.
3: The video says Sinclair is also tweaking NMN to make a patent-able version. Expect him to push to ban the natural form on NMN.
This is why I get peeved whenever I see that research has identified a benefit to some natural molecule, and inevitably the paper ends by explaining scientists are trying to synthesize and improve on the molecule. I always strongly suspect they are just trying to find something they can patent. I tie this back to Nicotinic Acid showing promise, so they created a patentable NR to research instead.
I have a HS degree so my opinion is worth what it is.
