Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Hi I did write another email thanking you Majorie but my computer crashed so I am not sure whether it will be posted. Anyhow just incase it isn't I will just say that that was just the sort of information I was looking for. Any more info regarding different types of stress and inflammation would also be extremely interesting. http://www.herc.org/news/mcsarticles/frame.htm I found this link on calorie restriction and it goes on to explain a little about the effect of lack of food on inflammation. I understand it ona very basic level, but am sure you would be able to understand it and interpret it on a much deeper level!. Anyhow I would be interested to hear, if you get time, or anyone else about your opinions on this.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Bridget, I don't know much about calorie restriction, except that the restriction generally discussed in papers like this are very extreme for humans -- on the order of 400 calories a day, something that a normal person cannot maintain for long. Manipulating the quantity or quality of one's diet can cause a general depression of the immune system and so decreased inflammation (I'm not certain by what mechanism) but doing so risks severe health problems. Plus, we (very sadly) know the effects of calorie restriction on otherwise basically normal humans: it's called anorexia nervosa. That is not a healthy state at all, mentally or physically, the poor souls.
