Transient Rapamycin Treatment Extends Mice Life Span By 60%
If an average lifespan is about 80 years, then this would possibly add 48 years. It's premature to assume that these results apply to humans, but it's definitely something that needs to be looked into by the research community.
A brief stint of rapamycin treatment in late middle age dramatically extends life span in mice by 60%; the biggest extension achieved with pharmaceuticals so far

Most people over age 100 look pretty old but this guy looks remarkable young.

Bernando LaPallo at 113


Unfortunately he died a year later at age 114

surfsteve: Although a bad diet will lead to all sorts of problems, I've heard that research has shown that a good diet has a very limited impact on average. People with an optimal diet may live two or three years longer than people with average diets. Of course, people with bad diets die many years earlier than average as a general rule. Someone who makes it to over ninety has good genetics. It's as simple as that.

Dear Shady Lady: You might want to give the video a listen to again. In the first 30 seconds they talk about genetics and how one of his sons didn't eat well and passed on at a very early age. I'm sure genetics has some part in it but I don't know where to draw the line. I would definitely place it well beyond two or three years. Most people say that just smoking alone takes up to ten years off a person's life. There are also other videos of how people should eat for their body type. If this were taken to extreme a person could eat only what they are allergic to and they wouldn't live very long at all. I have to wonder why the guy died not to long after he made that video. He looked to be in good health and I would have expected him to live many years. Maybe it was something he ate. (Bad Joke!)

Scientists May Have Identified the Protein That Controls Aging
This article is short on details, but it does identify a protein associated with aging and research into the role of this protein is fully warranted.
Two biochemists have discovered a link between a protein called carbonic anhydrase and aging in the brains and muscle cells of mice. While still in the early stages of development, their research could lead to treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Actually that kind of makes sense.
Natural products, resveratrol, catechin, curcumin, and silymarin are good inhibitors of the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase

Also according to the same article
Some sulfonamide drugs are potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

Which may explain why so many sulfur containing vegetables have anti aging qualities.

Turning Back the Aging Clock
Aging is a complex process and there are dozens if not hundreds of distinct phenomena to consider. This one seems to be pretty fundamental.
Researchers from Caltech and UCLA have developed a new approach to removing cellular damage that accumulates with age. The technique can potentially help slow or reverse an important cause of aging. The accumulation of mutant mtDNA over a lifetime is thought to contribute to aging and degenerative diseases of aging such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss and frailty. Inherited defects in mtDNA are also linked to a number of conditions found in children, including autism.

There are plenty of videos showing some old lifeless guy promoting the latest scientific anti aging gimmick but it's rare to watch a video about juicing and see someone like that. There are a lot of scientific articles showing evidence that juicing will slow down or reverse the aging process. This video is NOT one of them; though it does capture the essence or spirit of juicing: it also makes fun of it! Sometimes you just gotta throw traditional science out the window...

Here is BETRAYAL, a 7 part series on autoimmune disorders. One of the most over looked causes of diseases, illnesses and aging.

Aging process could be slowed, study suggests
No details, but it does appear that the research could eventually lead to something tangible.
