I'm your host, Dr. Michael Greger.

Tatoring or not Tatoring?

That's the question. Today, more stories from our series on this non-essential amino acid.

We know torrent abundance decreases during aging,

and a reversal of this decline through torrent supplementation

increases the health span and lifespan and mice and worms and health and monkeys.

So this means torring deficiency is a driver of aging in these species.

To test whether touring deficiency is a driver of aging in humans too,

long-term, well-controlled torrentation trials that measure human health span and lifespan as outcomes are required.

Why haven't these happened already?

You know why, as a naturally occurring substance,

toering cannot be exploited through a commercial patent.

You can buy pure tooreen powder, literally bite the bucket, and hardly a penny per gram.

So who's got to fund studies on it?

In population studies, higher blood-tourine levels are associated with less obesity and lower

prevalence of type 2 diabetes, but when put to the test, as reviewed in this 2020

meta-analysis of randomized randomized control trials, touring supplementation

had no significant effect on bloodshed control, aldeal cholesterol, or body weight.
