I heard a news story yesterday, about a book on life extension. It's a topic I've studied quite a bit, and an area I enjoy having informed discussion about with my sister (a Ph.d researcher in molecular biology).
But, one item Resveratrol is new to me. "The CR mimetic resveratrol may even prevent cancer and keep your coat glossy." Has anyone else heard of this? Generally, it slows protein growth at a cellular level, mimicking the calorie restriction effect. It might also act as a mild anti-inflammatory, which has also been found to prolong healthy life span.
