This would translate to an extra 7.2 years (assuming the average lifespan is 80) if it worked in humans, which is something

Wow, so many negative votes. Imagine that you go to the Altos investors (the most funded start up ever) and you tell them that their most promising technology will give them a 6% increase in longevity. They will be angry for sure haha. Caloric restriction has achieved in some cases up to 50% in some mammals... Rapa 20%. Acarbose close to 20%... IF 6% is the maximum we are going to get it is a big failure. I'm sorry all who are offended.
