CR in general population?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

This not pdf-available paper shown excerpted for the abstract below may pertain

to

the subject that there may be CRers in the general population. It does so from

a

negative slant for the implications of CR, possibly and unfortunately maybe. I

feel

that there is no real motivation to do CR except from the to me unexpected

findings

that abnormally low caloric intakes are good for health and long life. When

there

is CR in the general population of Western societies with their high access to

food,

it almost certainly is due to an underlying pathology. Such pathologies reduce

life

expectancy.

.... Energy Ratio (ER) ... Our results suggest that, to some degree, health

status

variables are associated with decreased ER, supporting a true caloric

deprivation state.
