Some useful info here, but the science isn't that clear on Metformin. The latest studies don't show that longevity increase in normal people. Also metformin negatively interferes with the benefits of exercise. So most people in the longevity field have stopped taking metformin. Exercise is just much better for health, dementia and longevity.

Yeah. Well we'll have to wait for that bigger study - it's more of an wild card at this point like I wrote. Anything else you'd like to add to the list?
