Somehow i missed the somewhat recent news of research done with carbon 60 infused food for mice which led to a doubling of their life span. Wow, now if the research is repeated a few more times we have another great property of Carbon 60, and another reason to look back and reconsider, re-study the works of Buckminster Fuller.--Steve fly
A recent French study looking for chronic toxicity resulting from
ingesting buckyballs dissolved in olive oil found that 10 month old rats
who ingested the human equivalent of a tenth of a gram of C-60
buckyballs (which in technical grades cost less than US$10/gram) several
times a week showed extended lifespans instead of toxic effects.-- http://www.gizmag.com/diet-buckyballs-extending-lifespan/22245/
Researchers at the University of Paris and
colleagues fed the molecule fullerene (C60 or “buckyballs”) dissolved
in olive oil to rats and found it almost doubles their lifespan, with no
chronic toxicity.
The results suggest that the effect of C60, an antioxidant, on
lifespan is mainly due to the attenuation of age-associated increases in
oxidative stress, according to the researchers.-- http://www.kurzweilai.net/fullerene-c60-administration-doubles-rat-lifespan-with-no-toxicity
