VIDEO: Non Human primate presentation (38 minutes)

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Ricki seems to have referred to Weindruch as Weinberg, close to the beginning of the talk.

It seemed that the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucoregulation#Glucoregulation effects were most noted, paralleled with diabetes risk and incidence data.

The mortality data, especially the age-related disease mortality data, was encouraging.

Were the excess ad libitum diet animal "abdominal adenocarcinomas" colon cancers?

Eating Less, Living Longer

Ricki Colman, PhD, reviews the long-term health benefits of caloric restriction (CR) using data from a 20 year study in non-human primates at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center. She outlines positive health changes associated with longevity including lower diabetes incidence, less age-associated loss of muscle mass, altered energy expenditures, and lower rates of obesity.
