calories consumed (was Reduced Body Temperature)

[Guest guest]

Theoretically in the lab on mice, that is. We don't know about humans yet.

And only young mice. In older mice more is not necessarily better. In fact

it turned out to be worse. So to be on the safe side, if you are middle

aged (or a senior) your calorie reduction should be a moderate one.

Also as was mentioned recently, the large human brain may need more

nutrients than it gets on a stringent calorie reduction program.
