    Questionable Funding Sources – Study Designed to Fail In this study, C60 in olive oil was exposed to the equivalent of approximately 3-weeks of the blue/UV spectrum of sunlight, causing the oil to become rancid. Under the study’s protocol, there was no extension of the lifespan of the mice. C60 in olive oil causes light-dependent toxicity…

    Computer Simulation Speculates Potential DNA Damage from C60 In a computer simulation with rigid RNA and DNA, C60 molecules fit in the groove of RNA and side groove of DNA. C60 binds to and deforms nucleotides Study strengths: None. This is not considered science at all. Study weaknesses: RNA and DNA are never rigid, but constantly…

    C60 + Nerves Nerves can die from oxidative stress and overstimulation. In this study, C60 protected nerves from dying due to “overwork” in cell cultures. Buckminsterfullerenol free radical scavengers reduce excitotoxic and apoptotic death of cultured cortical neurons Study strengths: Strongly protected human nerve cells from oxidative stress and overstimulation. Study weaknesses: This study was done…
