Re: longevity/supplements/supplement to supplements

Francesca,

re your comment on getting all nutrients through food.

I, too, try to get all my nutrients through food. My supplemented lab chow

referred to lab animals...not me! But, Walford would be first to say that

dwidp doesn't cover the entire spectrum. To some extent we're guessing. I

suppose that makes it more fun. T. Colin , in promoting a vegan

diet as a result of his involvement with the China studies, suggests going

for maximum variety of colors, including black and white, since the the

colors are composed of phytochemicals. And many of the phytochemicals are

beneficial...but we don't know for sure which ones are, and which ones are

not. Supplements won't help that much, but a complete diet per dwidp,

plus an accent on color in one's food, and appropriate calorie restriction

and exercise are the basics. Then supplements. You could make a good case

that they aren't needed at all, if you follow the practice above. I do,

however, use a wide variety of supplements in addition to my complete diet.

They're secondary. Diet comes first.

Nice talking with you. Helps me to keep myself pointed in the right

direction. Today is a big day. Colleen used dwidp and worked out her day

for the first time. Did it right. I think she enjoyed it. Her normal

practice wasn't too far off. I'm optimistic.

Nite, now.
