Re: Enzymes delay aging process

[Guest guest]

After reading the article, I see that many of the giants in gereontology are

advising caution afa getting too excited over this. Seems we are a long

leap from the yeast and lower organisms that this was tested on. They need

to get positive results on higher organisms. Conclusion of the article:

this does not replace CRON as the only way to stave off aging, disease and

death, for the forseeable future.

(OTOH, it wouldn't hurt to eat a few extra red grapes a day).
