Ingram says wild blueberries = CR?

[Guest guest]

So is it time to ditch the calorie counting ways and head off to Sam's Club to stock the fridge with some of these blue badboys?

Longevity Mark , M.S., Wolkow, Ph.D, and Ingram, Ph.D., from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) are working with an invertebrate model of microscopic-sized worms called nematodes in their investigation of the effect of a Wild Blueberry diet on longevity and stress resistance. "Our preliminary work shows that Wild Blueberries are as effective as any pharmaceutical tested on the worms," said . Further research is needed to confirm results. "We've done a lot of investigative work with caloric restriction in animal models, including these worms, to determine its impact on longevity. After years of extensive research, only caloric restriction has been shown to impact longevity in a robust manner," said Dr. Ingram. "This new, invertebrate research appears to be an exciting area of work for us. Our early findings show that food choices may be equally as important as caloric restriction."
