To be fair, all these empty promises and spurious pseudo-scientific papers do prove anti-aging is real. Unfortunately, it's anti-aging in the intellectual sense. Far too many people remain trapped in four-year-old mindsets regardless of how many years have elapsed since their birth. These are the many folk who want easy answers to complex problems and who want magic pills that enable them to avoid taking any responsibility for themselves. There will always be charlatans ready to make an easy living from duping the seemingly endless supply of people whose brains are primarily used as ballast to stop their heads from bobbing around when they waddle from the fridge to the sofa.
