I’m old. I want to slow my deterioration.
Peptides might help. Creatine and protein powder made me stronger. Now people say peptides would do even more!
But my government says I can’t have them…
Why? Don’t I own my body? Why do bureaucrats get to decide?
Here’s more from John Stossel, who talks about the FDA’s ban on peptides and why many Americans simply buy them illegally from the Chinese black market.
Some common life-saving medicines, such as insulin, are made of proteins so large and fragile that they need to be injected instead of ingested as pills. But a new generation of medicine–made from smaller, more durable proteins known as peptides–is on its way. Molecular engineer and TED Fellow Christopher Bahl explains how he’s using computational design to create powerful peptides that could one day neutralize the flu, protect against botulism poisoning and even stop cancer cells from growing.
