Caloric Restriction and Aging; January 1996; Scientific American MagazineSixty years ago scientists at Cornell University made an extraordinary discovery. By placing rats on a very low calorie diet, Clive M. McCay and his colleagues extended the outer limit of the animals' life span by 33 percent, from three years to four. They subsequently found that rats on low-calorie diets stayed youthful longer and suffered fewer late-life diseases than did their normally fed counterparts. Since the 1930s, caloric restriction has been the only intervention shown convincingly to slow aging in rodents (which are mammals, like us) and in creatures ranging from single-celled protozoans to roundworms, fruit flies and fish.
Why is it that so many pop stars become addicted to prescription medicines? Surely the doctors supplying them should be struck off.

I wonder if the pawl bearers will 'moonwalk' his coffin to the grave?
