DESCRIPTION:Aging is not a pleasant prospect. If there is something to be s
 aid on its behalf\, it is that the process of growing old offers ample opp
 ortunity for potentially useful scientific research. While the “Fountain o
 f Youth” is mythical\, science has revealed that there are ways to reduce 
 the risk of a premature demise. Unfortunately\, the concept of aging also 
 offers a chance for promoting a variety of unsubstantiated anti-aging sche
 mes designed for the public to dip into the proverbial “fountain of youth”
 . There are books and magazines devoted to longevity\, and influencers tha
 t dedicate the majority of their content to the subject\, hyping products 
 guaranteed to improve health and increase life expectancy. Some of the inf
 ormation is valuable\, but there are also many falsehoods cleverly couched
  in pseudo-scientific lingo and numerous exaggerated claims that are not s
 upported by the studies on which they are supposedly based.\n\nSo what\, a
 nd who\, should we believe? Join us on May 13th\, as Dr. Joe takes a look 
 at the good\, the bad\, and the ugly when it comes to aging\, and one's ne
 ver-ending quest for the Fountain of Youth.\n\nREGISTRATION REQUIRED\n\nYo
