"The demonstrated effects in mice, however, have been small. “And mice are very different beasts from people, in terms of metabolism, in terms of everything,” said McGill University experimental biologist Siegfried Hekimi.

“I’m not saying that it’s not conceivable” that some drug could measurably increase survival, Hekimi said. Some drugs, like blood pressure lowering drugs, already do that. High blood pressure is bad for the brain, bad for the heart and bad for kidneys. “So, it has a multi-organ effect,” Hekimi said. Anti-diabetic drugs also increase survival.
