Piure is relatively popular in Chile.

I have had it, and it is delicious.
Chile’s local seafood in general is great (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austromegabalanus_psittacus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austromegabalanus_psittacus is great) - it’s unfortunate it’s not more popular in the country itself.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoIs this the same animal? If so we can take this as disproven as Chileans don't look younger than other people :)
- prpl 4y agoIt’s in Ascidiacea - so yeah. Maybe counterbalanced by all the smoking and hot dogs though
- GekkePrutser 4y agoPersonally I think the whole idea that one particular compound reverses aging is impossible. And just wishful thinking (or outright scam). Aging is so deeply ingrained in the process that created our DNA. Without aging, evolution is completely broken. So it makes sense that it's extremely hard to 'turn off'. There's also no species that doesn't age AFAIK, and no compound found in nature that reverses aging for any species. I'm sure we will eventually manage to figure it out but it'll be a lot more involved than eating a particular kind of sea critter.
