I'm not going to dismiss the idea that rubbing cow dung on my face could do some good. I just have no reason to believe it will and no reason to tell others to expect it will.

Re: Scientists believe the strangest things
however, you have been presented with reason to believe that this substance may prolong life, yet you have immediately rubbished it... so where does that leave you?

1st of all, extending the life of some worms is nothing like a human. Second of all, heavy water could potentially affect any number of other a bodies chemical reactions if consumed in large quantities.
And 3rd and most importantly other research shows large doses of heavy water KILLS mammals.
