I have personally experienced evidence that the elastic protein molecul es in plants (latex) are similar or identical to the elastic protein molecules in human and animal tissue (elastin). It has been scientifically proven that the human body ceases to manufacture elastin soon after puberty, the gene is "turned off". Therefore, the introduction of the plant protein (latex) may significantly or completely reduce the physiological breakdown characteristic of the aging process. This would positively affect the wrinkling and sagging of our skin, but much more importantly the function of our bodies. Elastin is found in the walls of our arteries (28-32%), heart tissues, lungs (3-7%), elastic ligaments (50%), tendons (4%), stomach, intestines, skin (2-3%), elastic fibro-cartilage, and others. When a gene for elastin is missing, "Williams Syndrome" causes prematur e aging in children. Individuals who have inherited SVAS (supravalvular arterial stenosis) have a mutation of the gene for elastin in one of their chromosomes; therefore for every molecule of normal elastin they produce, they also produce one of abnormal elastin thereby giving their "hybrid elastin" an abnormal structure which leads to a defective elastin protein. My extensive searches have shown that all research to date has been genetically based, and that all products manufactured to date have been based on the extraction of elastin from animal tissue. I find no indication that anyone has ever considered using the plant-derived elastic molecule to replace the elastic molecule existent in humans and animals.
