moderate CR (wasRe: Question from a new member)

[Guest guest]

Hi JR:

To add my two cents on this ............ everyone here, I believe,

is 'in it' for either the improved health (proven in my opinion) or

extension of maximal lifespan (seems very likely but not proven yet

in humans) that CR seems to promise. Or, of course, both.

Anything that contributes to either of these objectives will be

eagerly welcomed by all of us here. Mimetics, if one or more can be

shown to actually work, will be as welcome as beneficial supplements;

maximizing known micronutrients; increasing intake a still-

unidentified trace nutrients; optimizing macronutrients; figuring

ideal meal size/spacing ('fasting'(?)); etc..

As you well realize, we all of course know about this stuff, and are

following the studies as they are published.
