Longevity Article against IGF-1

[Guest guest]

Interesting article I came across today studying a group of people

from Ecudor that have a gene defect which limits effect of HGH and

therefore IGF-1.

Basis of the article is saying that minimizing IGF-1 *could* be the

key to longevity. It goes against everything I've read and learned

the last few years, so what's the outlier here proving the rule?

There isn't a ton of science in the article to support any of the

claims, but it would be interesting to get some viewpoints from

others.
