The article "How Dietary Restriction Works" by Leon Chaitow is a surprisingly accurate assessment of CR science. I say "surprisingly " because the author's background is "practicing naturopath, osteopath, and acupuncturist".
Some highlights from the article:
| Quote: |
| The influence of dietary restriction on all of the various contenders for the 'major' influence on aging seems to make it a universally applicable technique, whether we are looking at how cells function in terms of self-repair and protein synthesis; or energy production and use; or the influence of the immune and endocrine (hormonal) systems; or the build up of altered structures (cross-linkage) and toxins, often related to free radical activity. |
| Quote: |
| Weindruch and Walford point out that animals become 'thriftier' in their use of energy when on dietary restriction, and that they continue to be thrifty afterwards. One of the major findings in life extension research has been the revelation that core body temperature drops with dietary restriction. The warmer the environmental temperature the less energy the organism (fruit fly, mouse or human) has to generate and expend in order to produce adequate body temperature. |
