  • It's probably the enzyme catalase. According to CBS news, when the body's production of catalase slows down, hydrogen peroxide in the body increases causing hair to lose it's color and turn to white. Attempts are being made to reverse this by adding catalase, or substances that make catalase, to reverse hair going white. If they can reverse it and turn white hair back to it's original color, then this could be very important as far as longevity is concerned.
  • There have been many claims to the existence of a fountain of youth that will restore those who drink from it to their former 'glory'.There have however been no scientific proof of there being any waters around the world with such powers. No waters or fountains that have even come close to the description of taking years off your age.
  • The story of the fountain of youth most probably has got multiple origins. This could be due to mans longing for eternal life, and stories of desert wanderers that found an oasis of 'life giving' water when they thought life was about to end. Creating stories from the desire of longer life is a viable simultaneous origin of multiple continents. Stories told by those that have been given life by finding an oasis in the desert, is the most likely origin of 'truth' that over time have been given more flesh to the bone.When we look at stories from various Indian cultures, we must also take into consideration their strong bond with the nature. They had holy spirits for many purposes that would explain nature. In particular the parts of nature they did not actually fully understand. A fountain of water where all other sources ran empty due to lack of rain could easily be described as a fountain of life. Knowledge of finding water when it was scarce and rare to come by was indeed life giving. People listening to stories told often forget that stories often are exaggerated.
  • In the 16th century, the story went on about a fountain of youth in Florida, USA. Stories about Jesus healing people with life giving water is another source with biblical context. This would have taken part in or around Jerusalem. The popular magician David Copperfield recently bought a property in Bahamas, claiming that he found a true fountain of youth there. Over time, many people have claimed to have found the true source. None of these have ever been validated by science. There is however one place which have 'adopted' this name. The city of St. Augustine, Florida is home to the Fountain of Youth National Archaeological Park. There is however no proof of the water here to be more life giving than other nice clean fresh water found elsewhere.

It is in Florida most definitely, but no one knows exactly where in Florida that might be! Take a left at the Bermuda triangle and then a quick right at la la land if you pass over the train tracks you've gone too far
