❌ No study has concluded that “drinking” a “young person’s blood” provides anti-aging health benefits.

published the same story under the headline “Young Blood Could Be the Secret to Long-lasting Health: Study” -- a headline which implied that a recently published scientific study had made a significant development in the field of medicinal blood drinking. The story, whose virality was ensured by an accompanying picture of bloody vampire teeth, opened with these claims:

This reporting has several things wrong with it right off the bat. First, nobody is advocating for the “drinking” of blood — the idea as posited would be to inject it via transfusion. Second, the study referenced by the, authored by geneticist Linda Partridge, did not itself investigate blood transfusions for human longevity purposes but rather included a discussion of blood transfusions inas part of a larger review of the state of the longevity and aging fields.

Cord , young, and elderly blood was collected for the isolation of ethylenediaminetetraacetate -plasma under Stanford Institutional Review Board consent and approval ... Isolated plasma was stored in aliquots at −80 °C until analysis or before pooling and dialysis to remove EDTA for treatment experiments where indicated.

First, Ambrosia LLC did not “back” Partridge's study in any way. Via email, Partridge told us her study was not funded or connected to the Thiel-backed startup. Second, the “results” thestory referenced with respect to Ambrosia were not taken from any actual published study, but from athe founder of Ambrosia gave at a TechCrunch conference in 2016. As such, it cannot be critically evaluated as scientific development at this time.

Give me a break!

It doesn’t matter whether it actually works. What matters is that the elites are doing it.

I wonder how many people with a lot of money buy plasma or blood treatments in very poor parts of the world, and the ethical concerns this brings up. It's pretty rife with exploitation, not to mention the dubious effects of either blood or plasma on biological age.

Gross. Thanks for that image before bed Snopes.

that's why the tech bros inject it
