Me neither. Especially for a measley 30% longer (much less actually, since I'd be starting calorie restriction well past infancy)....Not to mention some of those side effects! :P I'd read some about resveratrol, a chemical from red/purple grapes, but forgot about the 60% increase in lifespan for yeast. And it was roundworms, not earthworms -- how disappointed my Zoology profs would be in that lapse! Debbi GSV Oligochaete Perhaps Part Of Gollum's Longevity Was Calorie Restriction?
