Haven’t seen the full BBC article yet, just the excerpts going around. But if they’re arguing aging can’t be halted, that’s fair. Though I’d push back on something: the distinction between “can’t halt aging” and “can’t prevent age-related disease.” For someone managing pre-diabetes (A1c 6.1 as of October), the practical question isn’t immortality. It’s whether I can slow metabolic decline. Early read: yes. Fasting glucose down from 119 to 108. That’s not stopping the clock. It’s interrupting insulin resistance. The BBC may make a fair point abt hype. But dismissing interventions that slow age-related metabolic disease seems like throwing out the practical win. Anyone else read teh full piece? Does this distinction hold?
