To Add my nickel's worth:
We manufacture a medical food, the lifespan food bar.
While I may believe it has "anti-ageing" properties much time, work....
will be required before such a claim is justifiable.
In the meantime I use the term "anti-degenerative" to describe
structure/function
claims. It is important to keep the hype from "work in progress" in
line with what can be specifically proven. The word "may" is used in
place of "shall" so that the long term carefully documented
results back "shall" and the "work in progress which has a sound basis
in research" backs "may".
By the way... to toot my own horn , you can all see our stuff at
http://www.openminder.com/lifespan
and in a week or abouts it will be formally posted in the PDF of the
Journal for Jan/Feb 2003 of http://www.Cannabishealth.com
