A BRITISH scientist is developing a pill that could add 30 years to the
human lifespan.

Professor John Speakman has been awarded a £450,000 grant to investigate how
the body's metabolism can be altered, extending life.

His team at Aberdeen University found mice with a higher metabolic rate live
longer.

Greater amounts of the hormone thyroxine, produced in the throat, help.

It also leads to the production of fewer free radicals which can damage body
tissue.

Prof Speakman yesterday said human trials could start within a decade.
