Yes.

CR is a "do-able" thing, with which we can experiment.

I'm really very wary of claims of any chemical to do anything - fortunately what we can buy at Puritans or Wal-Mart probably won't get enough thru the digestive tract to hurt anything but the pocketbook.

I might try carnosine for the BP test using the HTN dummy (me), (eh, maybe next year). Meanwhile I'll stick to low AGE stuff (eh, except coffee).

Regards.

Hi folks:Worth emphasizing, I think, from JW's post is the following very neat and concise summary of what is known at present:"......... abstaining from smoking, regular physical exercise and modest intake of alcohol, a diet low in inflammation-inducing molecules, saturated and trans fatty acids, dairy products and sugars and high in antiinflammatory molecules, [omega]-3 fatty acids, plant fibres, vitamins and antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, is effective in supporting optimal ageing and reducing the incidence of chronic diseases. A recent study has suggested that of all the `healthy nutrients', consumption of legumes appears to be the most effective, showing a 7–8% reduction in mortality hazard ratio for every 20 g increase in daily intake."And what an impressive claim as regards legumes, about which I was previously ignorant. That really is amazing. Now I understand why Jeff allows his clients to eat all the chick peas they want : ^ )))But, a pity that CR is omitted from that list on the grounds that it is so far unproven in humans.Rodney.
