Dr Stanfield, will you be distributing in Europe as well? Currently the customs and transport costs for MicroVitamin are insanely high.

8:08 😖 🤔 are we to understand that GSK bought WITHOUT evidence of efficacy? Without replicating ANY experiments? Wouldn’t that imply Sinclair wasn’t the only one “incompetent”? What about all those OTHERS advocating for resveratrol ? And no I didn’t take the 💉🦠 🫣Wouldn’t GSK have sought the opinion of his colleagues before or even now to do a “claw back”?

@@augurcybernaut4785 right. How can they afford to spend $720M without doing proper due diligence?

you also have to have this point of view: if you have to spend thousands for each specific study, it would cost millions, it's not just the studies, I've been taking nmn for 4 month, when I take it sublingually I immediately feel the effects, there is a boost, the effects are there, there is no denying it, do we have to spend thousands more to show the immediate effect that it provides ?

Damning.

money grab.

That's not intrinsically a problem with science or people, but the fact that we live in a monetary based global society. Money has become a generalized reinforcer. That is, it can affect and control behavior for absolutely all aspects of life since it's been inserted in all of them , while naturally without money different aspects of life have distinct and varied reinforcers instead of a singular generalized one. As such, money has a stronger effect than all others, and/or at least it will always, as long as it exists, corrupt anything and everything it's involved in. And well, it's involved in...everything :D . And "corrupt'' is probably not even the right word, since what it does is just an intrinsic property of it's mechanisms. So it behaves as expected (at least by the people who know what to look for, and not be blinded by ideology of how they THINK it's supposed to work) . In other words, the system is not corrupted, it works exactly as designed. Any time you insert a token to replace intrinsic motivation (intrinsic motivation meaning doing a task simply because of it's results, or in other words because you enjoy it/believe that is important etc.) , you introduce a skew for the behavior to be done for the extrinsic motivator - the token instead. And we have just one singular token called money, that can be exchanged for anything and everything put into all areas in life. So naturally, everything will be skewed.

Ye he is a great communicator. Got me interesting in the field with his book+ great interviews and at the same time makes me distrust now every single person in the field. Boundless greed is so sad.

@@Utoko Exactly so.

Sad indeed. I never spent any money on his stuff but was an avid follower of his information and the guy looked extremely credible. No wonder all institutions and most scientists in this case are so discredit and looked with skepticism. They dug that whole and honestly I don’t think they will ever regain the trust from the public again.

Agreed

Harvard is beyond corrupt themselves. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last time Harvard has been intwined in blatant science fraud. Search "50 Years Ago, Sugar Industry Quietly Paid Scientists To Point Blame At Fat"

Same with Huberman.

Because Money 💰 🤑

Goes double for Huberman ​@@dominikh9526

All of modern academia really is a joke. Back to reading Plato and Aristotle.

Harvard has been "not a joke" for a very brief period very long ago. People just associate it with being elite because 95% or our billionaires and politicians have graduated from there. But being elite is not the cause of that one, being corrupt is.

@@LoisoPondohvainteresting statistic. Care to say where you found it?

Truth

Harvard is hype and doesn't have much contribution to science.

Harvard is one of the biggest collaborators with big Pharma. They have published ‘peer reviewed’ fraud to suit their narrative and not to be regarded as a leading light in honesty and integrity.

they are the ones who admitted to being funded by sugar industry to lie about results. They also recently came out with the hilarious article about red meat being linked to diabetes

😂❤

I was right there with you! I was upset at him throwing shade on a product I was so invested in taking. He stuck to the science and not the hype to the benefit of us all.

Yes, me too. I feel he has held steadfast and become a better communicator. The early days of defensive tweets and such are gone - I now realize he was very passionate about the topic and took it personally. Now he's letting the facts speak for themselves. Again, good job Dr. Brad!

@@Chaotic313 no no you’ve got it wrong, the first accusations were not enough to discredit Sinclair- who after all is the one that came up with the information theory of aging and is a legitimate scientist cited in academic journals all the time, this one accusation was enough to throw shade but not totally discredit the man, especially when you haven’t got the other side of the story, so it wouldn’t of been rational to join the cynical bandwagon at that point, not just based on Stanfield evidence anyway, perhaps if you yourself had insider info, but if you didn’t, then it would of been overly cynical and irrational to join in Stanfield chorus. Fast forward to now, with all the water under the bridge and these new accusations and Stanfield initial position seems far more plausible, but only after this added data, not before, so don’t trick yourself into thinking it was any kind of misguided loyalty to a product- I mean did the product work? Surely if anything the efficacy of the product played a larger role on your rationale, or at least I would hope so. Regardless, Sinclair is still the creator of the information theory of aging, something the whole longevity field uses, so even if he is a dodgy businessman and a liar, it doesn’t preclude him from being able to contribute valid scientific findings, I mean look at the guy that was part of creating the mRNA vaccine who went around telling everyone it was a massive con when Covid hit, to make money for himself, then when he got Covid and got really sick himself he begged drs to give it to him, does that mean he didn’t do important work that contributed to the amazing mRNA vaccines? Of course it doesn’t. Don’t confuse ethics and intelligence. Something Stanfield does consistently. Also Stanfield is totally wrong about nad boosters, the fda is studying nad boosters to see if it can be made into an affordable medicine for everyone, they did a similar thing with nac, Stanfield was deliberately vague on all this, all he said was “ Sinclair lobbied the fda” and “ now he’s doing the same thing again”, didn’t explain why the fda is studying nad boosters and when he covered nad boosters on his channel, he excluded all the high quality studies that showed real efficacy of nad boosters.

​@@Vgallo I have a bridge in the desert I think you'd be interested in buying.

@@grellis6483 cynicism isn’t clever or rational.

Do we? It seems like the fraudsters are being exposed due to the internet. And most people with a brain could tell David Sinclair was a fraud from the beginning.

A risky call out to say that his intentions were to trick GSK though

For someone who studies lifespan. This seems like a rookie mistake to shorten one's lifespan.

​@@OperationAndrew.No, he didn't. you got the logic messed up.

In fact, he's not the only one. Marcel James, through his YT channel The Pulse, is doing similar, although he also criticizes the FDA.

@@davidjordan2011 well, as for India, Stanfield is a popular name in the health community, so, I'm saying based on my geography and whereabouts and people I interact with. That's just why I used the term "international" level. 🤣😅 KZfaq has become a space for misinformation these days, especially fear mongering. There are two Aussies, Labmuffin (Michele) and Brad Stanfield who bust the myths and tell us not be scared which people like Gundry, Dave Asprey and a few others use to create furore amongst the "uneducated masses" who barely know any science but just follow fads to stay relevant in this age of Instagram.

he has a long history of fraud, but the work he is currently doing is game changing

@@paulbarclay4114 yeah that is what everyone was saying before

fool me once...

Yeah, I recently saw a study out of Britain illustrating in 65-80 age group they could raise their NAD levels to that of a twenty year old by having them simply walk 13,500 steps a day - Sinclair ain’t talking about this study. 4,000 steps nothing, 8,000 steps were an improvement, but 13,500 was the magic number.

There’s hundreds of videos online calling out Sinclair.

Looks like some of his science checks out as he wasn't the first to research nmn and metformin. The resveritol is the no go it seems

.

​@@jmonkey1111have they verified the research that he is doing in harvard. He said age reversal pill might come in 10 years.

Don’t be entirely discouraged. He may be somewhat of a snake oil salesman, but he is not only that. His information theory of aging is a very interesting insight and, while still nascent, there is some experimental evidence for it now. But only time (further experiments) will tell if it’s really a breakthrough theory.

You have changed your life to the better. No one else. Even if the basis were a fraud or a lie: you changed it and you have done something good. I can understand your words better than most people. Believe me. But hold on to those positive changes you have made!

This has nothing to do with NMN

I tried it for 6 months. NAD levels didn't move one bit

@@myscreen2urs NMN raises NAD, but only in pretty high doses. Dr. Lustgarten confirmed that in a self test. Usual niacin was more effective though.

@@Pyriold when is a dose considered pretty high? I was taking 500mgs with TMG

@@myscreen2urs I think when he took 300mg it had no effect but 1.5 grams raised NAD significantly.

NMN and resveratrol were never connected solely to Sinclair. The benefits of both were found long before Sinclair. It's wrong to simply state resveratrol is toxic...the research isn't clear on this. We know niacin is connected with longevity and mental health...long before Sinclair

u r taking expensive form of vitamin B3 😂😂😂

@@fannyalbi9040 Perhaps you should do more research Doctor....

@@fannyalbi9040 Dear Doctor Fanny please do some more research intro it...

@@fannyalbi9040then you don’t understand why it’s different. There’s absolutely no solid proof of anything at this point, and no ways whatsoever to debunk or dismiss anything about NMN..not yet. The doc here is on an emotional ally biased mission, in spite of his good efforts to stay robotic on KZfaq.

who is that?

Maybe that famous doctor meant it metaphorically? Like being “forever young” inside?

Deepak Chopra is in the same category....

@@cag1 Dr. Ulli STRUNZ !

The only "Forever Young" out of Germany was that song from Alphaville and I love it 😁

Nearly all of the health people on podcasts are conmen who have "the secret" to something.

It's not quite as clear or exactly as Dr Brad is saying. Resveratrol and NMN had a history of benefits long before Sinclair was on the scene and backed up by science. Sinclair seems to have created dodgy experiments focusing on sirtuins, however it's still not necessarily quite as Brad sees it.

@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457so rare someone is brave enough to oppose the angry mob

@@fdsfaf132 Come on. Even in the last couple of years Sinclair claimed that his findings were going to lead to extended life span in humans, still hanging on to the supposedly beneficial effects of Resveratrol, which were disproved long ago. He doesn't even admit his mistakes.. just riding the wave to even more money.

@@fdsfaf132 you’re not disagreeing you’re using the word legalistically, he’s using vernacular

When he hyped up autophagy and low protein diets, I just felt very offput by him

He’s biased as hell. Nobody knows anything. The good doctor here just needs an agenda and it gets him KZfaq clicks. Who is capitalizing ???

@@jacked_asianautophagy is real, not sure about low protein, though research for many years have pointed to some benefits of lowering protein at least in short cycles

Yeah I'd agree with that. I think being skeptical is great when it comes to things like that. Sadly there's a lot of people who'll say that anyone who wants to sell something is a fraud, typical lack of nuance, and black and white thinking.

I would agree, what I have come to understand about the good guys and the bad. Is both need money, however the good guys try to tell the truth to the best of their knowledge, they also try to make something safe and useful to the people while charging an affordable or decent price that everyone can afford. Where as the bad guys care not if their product is safe or what lies they must tell to sell it, and they try to charge the highest possible price they can to rip you off in the name of profit. Just the basics there but seems to be the universal pattern of such.

THANK YOU for pointing that out!! I've mentioned this countless times on other videos and his fanboys attack me, saying I don't know what I'm talking about, and that his "youthful" appearance is 100% due to his longevity supplements. I pointed out his frozen line-free face as classic overuse of use of botox, but they refuse to believe. My friend who's a cosmetic surgeon agrees when she sees videos of Sinclair!

I'd say you shouldn't trust longevity researchers who undergo cosmetic surgeries and don't declare it. Botox has positive correlation with lifespan (thesis is that looking younger makes you want to take care of yourself more, or people who invest in botox probably care about their lifespan).

Sure, I agree. I wouldn't have minded as much if he'd stated he had it done every time people told him he looked great in interviews.@@vinaynagaraj4638

@@zoeydeu2261 To be honest, in order to look or younger than your age you actually need cosmetic procedures. I mean if looking YOUNGER is your goal, not just being healthy. Lots of people are living in this belief that they will look young just because of their lifestyle, but that is rarely the case. That being said, it is important to disclose if you're getting something done, which Sinclair didn't do. I saw one of his speeches in some health conference (easily available on youtube). And he showed his before and after pictures. On the after picture he said " I think my protocol is working". He showed before picture with forehead wrinkles and after WITHOUT forehead wrinkles. Now this is a scam!!! As a dermatologist I can tell you that no lifestyle protocol, no supplements will erase forehead wrinkles that already exist and are this deep. This made me realise he is a liar actually.

​@@zoeydeu2261Honestly he doesn't look that youthful though...

Not necessarily.

he's vegan now because of his girlfriend. He was a meat eater and shared that in past interviews.

You clearly have no clue about plant based diets.

Any diet not well curated can make one malnourished.

I think the one main meal a day works. Been doing it for years since I was a kid, before DS talked about it. No Breakfast, no Lunch just some fruits during the day and a reasonable dinner. I'm 70 and people say I look very young , no meds, no health issues. MBI=22.5 BP =100/70

xD

The filter actually exists already as part of zoom. Everyone on zoom has much better looking skin than in reality.

@@suzannecase6170 The default setting is no filter. You need to turn it on, which Sinclair clear did.

👍

Filters and in person looks frail ~

I think I've been conned uve spent thousands of both nmn and resveratrol.

She knows it’s more lucrative to spit back positive results from one study than to deconstruct the many studies that inundate the papers and whose majority are not reproducible

She annoys me too. I think she means a lot more well than Sinclair, but she also overstates the importance of many individual biochemicals, and in essence she overcomplicates the process of living a healthy and normal life

So David Sinclair is dichotomous.

The genius of playing dumb or he's just incompetent.

Doc Brad is L E G E N D 😁😁

Good one 😂

Unfortunately Harvard seems to be having a problem with ethics lately.

I agree. Many of the big investment firms that provide retirement plans invest in pharmaceutical companies.

@@Drgluee Exactly, it seems David doesn't care about the poor victims and their retirement plans seeing they had invested into the companies that David tricked.

“Innocent investors”😂

@@JoeRogansForehead Yes, there were a lot of innocent investors into GlaxoSmithShine who lost a LOT :(

@@Drgluee That doesn't make any sense at all, clueless Gluee. Life extension is the last thing people who "the big investment firms that provide retirement plans " want. If I were them, I'd be investing in driverless busses. Glider clubs for over-40's. Radical new forms of Scuba gear. And especially the famous balsawood fire escape. "Avoid the clanging sound of peole running out of your building." "Rustless protection!" "Even faster from the upper storeys!!!"

Yes, this. Sinclair does not talk like a scientist. He often speaks in absolutes and seldom qualifies his statements with the key phrases of "needs more study", "we need to be careful not to extrapolate etc.'" He almost never cites other studies and often relies on antidotes . After listening to thousands of hours of longevity podcasts one begins to sense when someone is interested in science vs someone who is interested in marketing. People who are imprecise in their language are usually imprecise in their work. I love youtube , but I try always to keep in mind this Feynman quote "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."

That book was too much fiction for me. Ideas put forward as if it were science, but very little scientific support for them. Much like he nowadays claim that cells has a epigenetic "backup copy". It's not easy for real researchers to debunk the claims of a charlatan with too much media support. Harvard seems to like that kind though.

Me too, I always got a bad vibe from him, yet everyone always touted his work

I agree! I never liked him & thought it was all B.S.

I felt the same way and stopped following him after a while.

Thanks Nic

Resveratrol has lengthened the lifespan of multiple species including fish mice bees. Studies show it rejuvenates human cells and lengthens telomeres. There is a lot of fake supplements online most of the stuff in amazon is fake. Gsk was mad cause the unpatentable free molecule was better than all the drugs in the market combined.

Maybe that’s the best you can do now, but hopefully there will someday be a supplement that really does work. If not there isn’t much hope for the longevity field, none of the diets seem to do much beyond what just being moderately lean do and exercise, while good, is difficult to link with any real profound results

@@HkFinn83living that healthy lifestyle is proven to really help you live longer and healthier.

@@dencentbeatz794 yes I know obviously. In the longevity space we are looking and hoping for something more significant than the marginal life expectancy impacts that have been demonstrated by certain diets/calorie restriction and vo2max training etc. and of course a molecule that actually works is our main hope.

@@dencentbeatz794 yes obviously, and those us who practice calorie restriction and try to increase our vo2max etc and are hoping for something more significant and that has actual profound longevity impacts, a molecule that actually works is our main hope.

Not quite as simple as that I'm afraid. Sinclair wasn't even the person who discovered the longevity health benefits of all those. There is other totally independent research that backs up the benefits that have nothing to do with Sinclair.

Something quite disturbing about his 'gaze'.

@@guitawrizt Yes, it's the cold, calm focus of a psychopath

Not really when that money could have gone to curing cancer or something

@@wx2999or more likely in the pockets of execs, don’t be naive.

@@wx2999 big pharma getting scammed is ALWAYS funny why the fuck would they want to cure cancer? none of the money would've gone towards that for obvious reasons

And the average people that bought into it, desperate for sleeping that worked.

Pharmaceutical corporations don't spent theironey on curing cancer. Their profits are high and progress in helping cancer patients is very low. They spent their money on corruption, marketing and buying small companies who own a cash cow.

Influencers thrive on having all these health grifters on their podcasts.

The Pulse has basically made his entire channel around NMN 🙄

@thepulsechannel is piggy backing his 15 minutes of fame around the hype of nmn. He can’t back down now. He feels relevant with the attention he’s getting. He disappears otherwise. For the record. I mix in nmn with other supplements. But I’m realistic about its use. It simply cannot and doesn’t do everything he claims it does on his channel. His anectodal claims are out of control.

He's just one more grifter in a circle-jerk sea of narcissistic podcasters who pick a niche and try to bleed it dry of cash

How'd you spot it?

David has been running this scam since lizzy was in highschool

lmao

But as soon as someone makes unreal claims, shouldnt they be most highly scrutinized. He has been in public eye since yearrrrrrssssss.

Yes but we hurt in the mean time when people can find something good and buy rights. There were great NMN products but R&D has been stopped by anyone but him because he owns it. It slows things down or stops them when one person can buy and claim rights in a supplement. Same happens with other products like Stevia which used to be healthy and now has additives and you can't find it in its pure form.

Probably blinded by the Harvard name, but yeah with such a price you’d expect more due-diligence

I do wonder. If that is a sham, is the rest of his research as well? Like his partially reprogrammed cells research? I hope not.

Actually yes, they can all be,lying. Though I suspect many experience Placebo effects.

I feel nothing physically from 1g daily for 4 years but my memory is super sharp still at 53.
