[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1969977, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]The scientists involved with this review of the findings on metformin are all university based, which gives me hope. But, the use of the unscientific claim to delaying and preventing mortality and ageing (made more than once throughout the piece) sounds more like a fountain of youth benefit of snake oil, so I suspect pharmaceutical company involvement. Well, I didn't, but I was joking with my science educated partner, Herr Svea, about the use of above mentioned phrase, and he suggested it as a sales technique rather than hard science, ie, Big Pharma involvement. It made sense. This does not detract from the very real benefits of metformin, or MET :), of course, and this paper identifies them and does a pretty up-front costs and benefits analysis of each pro. For instance, the B12 deficiency factor. I like the fact that they talk about gut biome issues - so up with the play gets a big tick. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
