"Scientists say that the decreased body temperature and insulin levels are particularly important in this study because they are good indicators of increased longevity and are often referred to as the biomarkers of longevity."

"Unfortunately, this study looked at biomarkers, not at actual longevity. … Therefore, it is hard to attach any particular significance to it," said Dr. Darin Deen, a professor of clinical family and social medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York."

How do we know these are "good indicators of increased longevity"? That is, for humans, not rats raised on a low calorie diet. Dieting obesers drop body temp too.

Exercise and moderate intake still count, especially for this group, until gene therapy is available.Mikehttp://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=1839156 & page=1
