This seems like this is a misleading way for these researchers to present their results.

Yes, there study did show that young blood can not stop the effects of old blood.

However if someone were going to get transfused with young blood the amount of old blood in their system would decrease, so then, presumably, you would see anti-aging effects.

I don't know why they didn't present the research like that. It seems like they don't want to say it or I'm just missing some logical step in my thinking.

They didn't like how the previous results were sensationalized in the media so they are proactively downplaying anything that could be used as a sound bite.
Isn't that sorta not the point to science at all? Shouldn't findings be conducted regardless of whatever bullshit the media spews?
