So I ran across this last night and I thought it was really cool. Scientist found that when they gave older mice the blood of younger ones they became healthier. Supposedly it's from something called gdf11 in the blood. Being as this is all a little out of my league I thought I should link the article. I figure you smarter members like Doc and...well, everyone might be able to understand it better than I do. What do you think guys? Do you think that gdf11 might be something sold on the market before too long?

Most likely it would only work if u had collected and stored your own blood from when u were young.....
