At first glace, I am skeptical of the results. Long telomeres are associated with some diseases. Short telomeres are associated with some diseases.
-- There is a *correlation* with telomeres and aging. From what I've read, causation hasn't been established, meaning that lengthening telomeres most likely won't do much. If there's any research to contradict this, my opinion can change, but from the current papers I've read my opinion is is that not much will happen. It'll probably do a lot of nothing.

I ask myself how exactly do they make the telomers longer and who is sure, there won´t be some terrible side effects?
