Antibiotics could extend your life by culling older cells that can no longer divide

Antibiotics may hold promise in extending your life - and not by ridding you of killer infections.

Researchers claim the drugs may cull older cells that have lost the ability to divide and are linked to age-related disorders.

The senescent cells are thought to be the root cause of diseases including cancer, heart disease and even dementia.

Salford University scientists made the discovery using azithromycin, which treats infections ranging from gonorrhoea to Lyme disease.

Sounds like climate change nonsense. How old was your great and grandmother in harder times ? My great died at 101 and my grand at 98 and was still crawling under her house to turn the sump pump on at 97 because she was too cheap to have a switch installed. Both had gardens and canned, smoked and were not ashamed as good god fearing women to have a shot of whiskey and copious lathering's of Sloan's Liniment. Both looked like men with boobies and could out work any man I know today including myself. They simply had good genes and Grit. Something we have lost today. Everyone is so special and sickly too quick to take pills and relieve what ever pampered pain they imagine in their discomfort and distraction and entirely eat too much in general and don't move enough. I don't know why anyone in this day an age would want to get to be that old and witness the failure and malaise of their offspring .

722 ots only nonsense when you as re too stupid to understand science or too lazy to actually study a topic. Matter of fact, since science is so stupid, get off the internet, turn off your phone and tv, and go back to digging in grandma's garden.
