Coming to a doctor's office nowhere near you and nowhere near affordable for the average joe.
"Workers will live longer while still eating the same garbage food as before, meaning we can continue to pay them a pittance"
Boom. It's on the health plan.
this. folks don't realize how having a healthier workforce is something overlords want. Its even better than babies because no costly education needed.
Eh. They want a healthier workforce during their prime years. After that they need them to die sooner so that they aren't a cause for an increase in taxes to support them. We're about to see that with the Boomers. These old fucks are living forever and the workforce is shrinking, meaning bigger bills with fewer people to tax to pay them.
things like this does that though. We are getting into a wierd situation though were some people break down still in the 50's and some can keep going into 70's decently but folks are making it to 90's.
Food intake has a very modest impact on cholesterol levels in people with familiar hypercholesteremia.
Like 10 % reduction when you are 500 % over safe levels.
Statins are already there on a once a day pill. I don't know how they are for other people, but I have a nuke-it-from-orbit dosage due to genetic issues, and I don't notice any side effects. A grapefruit might kill me, but I never liked them, anyway. Costco's out of pocket rate is around $30 for 90 days.
I'd take gene editing if it were cheap enough, but just speaking for myself, I'm fine without it. Health plans probably aren't going to make it cheap when the alternative tends to work fine.

Maybe not right now. But that was the case for every medicine or treatment immediately after it was first discovered. When insulin was first discovered as a treatment for diabetes only a few people could get it, for example, now it's standard.
Yeah it sucks for you Americans over there.
Hopefully it will pave the road for lots of other similar treatments and also bring prices under control.
It will bring prices under control for the manufacturers, which will raise their profit margin while they keep the prices sky high.
Also, lets not forget that our paying, or rather our insurance, paying absurd prices for drugs is what has long subsidized the rest of the world's cheap drugs. It's why drug companies fight so hard to keep America from lowering drug prices - it'd completely destroy their profit margins and they'd be relegated to being mere multimillionaires instead of multibillionaires.
Euh, it's because your market is totally deregulated compared to the EU for example. You're not paying for us, all the non needed benefits go in the pockets of the ultra rich.
