Hi All,

I liked especially

" " You really can't use the Okinawans to make the argument that food

restriction

slows aging in humans, " said Dr. O. Holloszy, an aging, exercise

and

nutrition researcher at Washington University. " The oldest old people

in

Okinawa aren't any older than the oldest old people anywhere else in

the

world. "

Holloszy and colleagues Dr. Luigi Fontana and Dr. Klein, all

of

Washington University, are studying the effects of caloric

restriction on

humans.

The researchers compared heart health indicators from people who put

themselves

on restricted calorie diets with those from people who consumed " a

normal

American diet. "

The calorie cutters, members of the Caloric Restriction Optimal

Nutrition

Society - they call themselves CRONies - ate 1,112 calories to 1,958

calories

each day for an average of six years. That is about half the 1,976

calories to

3,537 calories the average American consumes each day. "

Cheers, Al Pater.
