Popping pills

Johannes Von Buttlar’s publisher says he is the bestselling German author
of all time. Maybe it loses in translation. His Methuselah Formula (Blake,
£14.99 ISBN 1 85782 142 4) claims we will soon all live for 300 years.
After slagging off “quacks ond tricksters” he offers his own snake oil (sorry
“key to eternal youth”) – more vitamin E to attack free
radicals.
