According to a new study, if we want to liver longer and healthier lives, we should all join the likes of Dracula, Edward Cullen, and the Salvatore brothers.


A new study by the University College London has found that drinking young people's blood can promote longer lives and can prevent age-related disorders including cancer and heart disease.

In their research, UCL found that when given young blood, older mice did not develop age-related conditions. They also maintained sharp cognitive function.

However, when young mice were given older blood, they experienced opposite effects.

UCL is not the only group testing this theory. In fact, blood studies have been going on for several years.

In 2012, a group at the University of Cambridge found that blood from young mice could play an important role in helping older mice with Muscular Sclerosis.

A Harvard study in 2014 found that plasma (the main component of blood) from young mice could help improve memory in older mice as well as increase their ability to learn.

PayPal founder, Peter Thiel has back a San Francisco based startup that specializes in the benefits of young plasma in humans.

The company, Ambrosia, conducted a study with 70 human participants, all above the age of 35.

Volunteers ages 16 through 25 donated their plasma.

When the older participants were given the younger plasma, researches saw an improvement in biomarkers for different diseases.

Ambrosia has decided to monetize the their study by selling teenage plasma. Interested consumers can buy 2 1/2 liters for $8000.

Giphy

But despite the studies, lots of people aren't biting.












Happy early Halloween?

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
