Interesting -- there are plenty of articles on fullerene administration to rats over the past 10 years [1], but no mention of longevity effects.

I just took a look myself and it turns out that there is evidence: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17079053.

The thing is, you can't patent fullerene so it will never ever make a great deal of money as a supplemental treatment, and so likely won't get that much attention.
