This is a quick interview with the guy who made a movie called "The Immortalists". In the movie he profiles a couple people who are into the anti-aging movement, namely Bill Andrews and Aubrey de Grey.

While the theory of shortening telomeres with aging is true with some types of cells in the human body not all types of body cells have telomeres. Telomerase is also present in cancer cells in very high amounts. At the same time one group of people are trying to lengthen telomeres to prevent aging; another group are trying to fight cancer by inhibiting their growth. To risky, to experimental and too expensive to peak my interests. How do I know that by keeping my telomeres long in my good cells that I'm not contributing to keeping any cancer cells that might inadvertently be present from dying?
According to new research published in the American Journal of Public Health, people who drink more soda have shorter telomeres (bits of DNA that protect the ends of chromosomes in cells) in white blood cells. The affected telomeres have been associated with age-associated diseases including cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
