| #1 Metformin is a very widely used generic drug which has been shown (unintentionally) as have cancer-preventative and possibly life-extending effects. For decades it has been used as a comparison "known" when new drugs particularly against Type 2 diabetes are tested. Naturally future incidence of cancer and overall death rates from any cause are logged during the drug trials for both those taking the experimental drugs and the comparison patients on metformin. Repeatedly the lower incidence of cancer and possibly prolonged life spans have been noticed in these tests of vast numbers of patients. See "Silicon Valley techies are turning to a cheap diabetes drug to help them live longer" or Google "metformin life extension" |
