Page 3 of 3 In the November 27, 2008 Science News article (mentioned above), it is stated, “Shchepinov realised there was another way to defeat free radicals. While he was familiarising himself with research on ageing, his day job involved a well-established - if slightly obscure - bit of chemistry called the isotope effect. On Christmas day 2006, it dawned on him that putting the two together could lead to a new way of postponing the ravages of time.” Featured Whitepaper

Science DiscussionsShchepinov contends that humans could one day feed deuterium-enriched water to farm animals and then we could eat the deuterium enriched meat (or, heavy foods). Or, we could drink deuterium-enriched water (heavy water) directly. For additional information, please read the article (pdf file) by Kirk B. Goodall “In Search of the Fountain of Youth: Preliminary Analysis of Deuterium’s Role in DNA Degradation.” Also, read the series of article under the heading “Mikhail SHCHEPINOV: Deuterated Nutrients.” The March 2007 article “Reactive Oxygen Species, Isotope Effect, Essential Nutrients, and Enhanced Longevity” in the journal Rejuvenation Research summarizes some of Dr. Shchepinov’s work. Research on deuterium and life longevity is in the early stages. And, the association of deuterium with extending the human life has not yet been confirmed. However, scientists are looking into whether deuterium-enriched water and foods may one day provide a longer life for humans. |
