I think you summarize this well. Banninster’s claim was that even the T2 diabetics lived longer on metformin than even healthy controls. That is clearly debunked. I do not know of any heslth controls being put on metformin at say 70 years of age to find out if is lowers all-cause mortality. Mouse data is a strong No. The cell paper is a study of about 12 monkeys and a lot of bioinformatic hocus-pocus of the type I do. But I prefer much larger numbers and much stronger effects.
