The anti-ageing industry promises to extend life - here's the reality

Yeah nah, I'll pass on injecting god knows what into my face just to look 'younger'. Natural aging is fine, thanks.

The fact that people are literally risking their health for a few less wrinkles is insane. But hey, keep buying that snake oil.

Been in this game a while. So much bullshit being peddled. Just eat well and exercise. Everything else is a scam.

Grace Patel2026-07-18T23:27:49.000Z

ffs Leo, you're right about the basics but there's more nuance. Some things work, just not the overpriced rubbish at the pharmacy.

bloody hell another article telling us what to do. if people wanna waste their money on that crap let em. not my problem

Zoe King2026-07-18T23:58:49.000Z

And yet the same people who swear by anti-aging creams will turn around and say vaccines are dangerous... make it make sense 😒

Noah Bennett2026-07-19T01:15:49.000Z

about the people pushing dangerous stuff like hormone treatments without proper testing? That's not 'potential', that's reckless.

I just think people want to feel in control of something. It's easy to judge but aging is scary for a lot of us.

nah mate you're part of the problem. selling hope to desperate people for a quick buck.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-19T01:13:49.000Z

if you actually look at the science, most of it is garbage. Companies are cashing in on hope. Students in my research group debunk this stuff weekly.
