As 60 Minutes reported in January, scientists across the country have identified a substance in red wine called resveratrol that they believe might do more than just protect the heart, but could in very high concentrations significantly extend life by preventing a number of age related illnesses.
If they’re right, we all may soon be taking a pill that could give us an extra decade or two of healthy old age.
Dr. Westphal says we all may soon be taking a drug that just might beat the clock, a simple pill that could delay the inevitable. “Our goal is to prevent and forestall many of the diseases that strike us as we reach 50, 60, and 70. All with one pill.”
Asked if he’s suggesting that it’s some kind of a rejuvenation drug that would turn a 70-year-old into a 35-year-old, Westphal tells Safer, “That might be pretty hard to do. But I think if we’re on a train heading one direction, we can slow down that train. I think we can slow down these genes that control the aging process.” (read the whole 60 Minutes story on resveratrol)
