Pill that increases life span will be made? True or False?

I was watching the discovery channel and there was this show about the future and new inventions (i forgot what the name was, but the show is becoming popular right now) and they where talking about how within 3 centuries society is gonna have available a pill that increases your life span. They said they found some kind of chemical in red whine that increases life span, so their putting it in a pill and they've tested it already on mice and other creatures and it appears to be working. Do you think this is real? Has anyone else seen this show on the discovery channel? Do they lie often?Pill that increases life span will be made? True or False?
Yes, red grapes (and red wine) have anti-aging properties (as well as countless other herbs and substances on earth), but I highly doubt that a 'pill' will ever be made to prolong the lives of humans who refuse to keep healthy and do the necessary work themselves.





We have the ability right now to live MUCH longer than they typical 70-80 years we're living, but most of us still refuse to make the needed sacrifices in order to achieve that. (i.e. exercise, stop eating processed/dead food, relax, rid ourselves of toxicity, etc.)





But.. on a brighter note; I bet if the world's life expectancy is to be increased by a pill, McDonald's will get a lot more business!


Whadda ya say?Pill that increases life span will be made? True or False?
People are so gullible.
I've heard about the natural chemical in red wine, but never about the pill. I'm assuming that since it's on the Discovery Channel, it's pretty legit, and chemically speaking, it's very possible that they've isolated this life-span-increasing agent into pill form. They probably don't know all of its side effects though.





If you're looking to increase your life span, I suggest looking at the cultures that have the most long-lived individuals. One of them is Japanese culture. They drink a lot of green tea (this also helps with health endurance), eat a lot of fish, and also have some methods of meditation (Zen) as well as a good dose of spirituality in their lifestyles. Do some research and see what you can incorporate into your own. ;)


Good luck!
