Be careful when looking at lifespan studies. A huge increase in lifespan vs. control does not mean much if the control is badly treated and short-lived compared to max lifespan for that rat strain. Some rats normally live to 42 months. The C60 could be making up for bad conditions without extending max lifespan. If so, many compounds have been shown to do this. This exact scenario was the cause of the resveratrol craze.
