Talk:Free-radical theory of aging

message: I think less is more. --zwa 06:53, 23 June 2005
:Do you really think it is better this way? I agree we should keep text to a minimum, but I think that was way too much! Consider reverting to the previous version and then split the article in some new articles, making referece to thses new pages in each section. A bit like this: English history. --Jotomicron | talk 11:20, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think this theory is a pure nonsence. In my knowleadge all aging processes involve water...so water is per se the only cause of aging...Should I continue??? Or you have got it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.222.112.200 (talk) 16:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV?

message: This article sounds more like a scientific paper than an encyclopedia article. It's difficult for someone without a medical background to completely comprehend what this article saying. I recommend that someone rewrite this article in a way so that it's able to be easily understood while retaining all that technical information. Solarusdude 21:04, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Difficult Read 

message: i work more on the german pages, so i wont make changes here. but the citation thats needed at "Evidence: A large body of comparative biochemical evidence suggests..." might be found within Pamela Larsons Paper on "Aging and resistance to oxidative damage in Caenorhabditis elegans" Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. Vol 90 1993. See notes 8 & 9. 77.132.183.16 (talk) 18:06, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  citation needed 

message: There have been many long-term experiments (on mice) that counter this theory (and thus the established industry). Please someone more knowledgeable add such section. --90.157.184.162 (talk) 19:20, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism/counter evidence section 

message: In one laboratory, Phenybutylnitrone (PBN) was shown to produce about a 10% extension of maximum lifespan in experimental animals[10]. However, this finding has not been reproduced by other laboratories.
If labs have tried to reproduce this study and it failed there should be a paper or something to cite.  If no one has tried to repeat the study then I think this statement is misleading as is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.122.235.183 (talk) 10:57, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  evidence  

message: See these         for starters, but there must be many more. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 04:14, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  It's time to add some medically reliable sources. 

message: The "evidence" section of this article seems to have an agenda. The sources sited are the exact same "sources" that Lifevantage protandum sellers quote in their sales pitch for protandum. These need to be seriously looked at as misleading as several details are overlooked. such as the mice trials only involving specific mice organs, which cannot be considered truth for a whole living mouse etc.§  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 00Comm (talk • contribs) 12:24, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I have just come across this article for the first time, I agree the evidence section is citing some very weak and unreliable sources. It needs re-writing. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's doubtful that this theory and research field are receiving much industry or government funding in the past decade, as indicated by the dearth of quality papers or reviews. The article needs a major rewrite, but there are not enough reliable reviews (any in recent years?) to support new content. Zefr (talk) 00:21, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There is still unreliable content including original research and outdated primary sources on the article, I agree there are no modern reviews or mainstream research being done into this. I would support merging and redirecting the article to Denham Harman, or re-writing this article and keeping as a short article or stub. Psychologist Guy (talk) 20:31, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
