Re: FW: Aging Research Article & Low Insulin IGF-1Extends Life?

[Guest guest]

Hmm...

" Fish " doesn't look " high " on the insulin index to me. And just what is

" fish " ? Is this white fish, fatty fish, etc.?

True, pasta does appear to be low on the insulin index, but no lower than

" fish " .

Kenyon's diet doesn't look irrational overall, with, perhaps ths avoidance

of pasta excepted.
