Human Growth Hormone: &#8220;&#8230;its benefits have not been proved, and there have been no long-term studies of its side-effects in healthy users.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>2. Acai berry: &#8220;This is the best example of an anti-aging elixir gone completely out out control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3. Resveratrol: &#8220;&#8230;doses in the animal studies were far higher than people could tolerate&#8211;the equivalent of drinking 750 to 1,500 bottles of red wine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>4. Antioxidants: &#8220;&#8230;the jury is out over whether this is any benefit from applying them to the skin&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5. Alpha hydroxy acids: &#8220;Don&#8217;t expect over-the-counter products to make any difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the hook for this story is a study out this week on lenalidomide from the Universith of California at San Francisco. A scientist there discovered that taking small amounts of this pill, which is related to thalidomide, boosts immunity. The <em>Times<\/em> calls this &#8220;an elixir of youth.&#8221; The UCSF scientists don&#8217;t go quite so far.
