Almost exactly a month ago, we notified readers of a (ghoulish?) new anti-aging technique:
"A controversial startup that charges $8,000 to fill your veins with young blood to 'defeat aging' now claims to be up and running in 5 cities across the US"
At the time, we also noted that there was scant (ie "zero") scientific evidence backing up that rather extravagant claim. But: no harm, no foul, right?
Well, not so fast there Dr. Acula:
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning against buying young people’s blood in an attempt to fight aging and other diseases."
Now notice they're not saying that this is potentially harmful (and, of course, they're not saying it's not, either), but the Feds are concerned that folks may be sweet-talked into spending thousands of dollars on junk science.
Caveat emptor.
