A member asked:
Can eating lobsters make you live longer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not heard that one: However there are reports that an enzyme in the lobster ( telomerase ) can protect against damage to their DNA through replication. This may increase the longevity of the lobster but I don't think it would change the longevity of the human who eats the lobster.
