Re: Re: Low Insulin Not Calorie Restriction Lengthens Your Life

I tend to agree with Joanne. If you don't eat properly, your " protection "

from beneficial nutrition isn't there. I know skinny people who have heart

trouble. True, that's only anecdotal evidence, but I can't help but come

back to Walford's: i.e. that even if you eat AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, but eat

healthily, you will still be much healthier than on an ad lib diet.
