Many people ask me and now I wonder if using resveratrol will make you get old slowly?
Is this true? How does it work? Where can I get some quality product?
Apparently it works for flies and worms, but not for mice. Which are you?
I sold my last batch of it back in 1891.
What about for monkies? People are like monkies, and if you don’t let monkies eat doesn’t it keep them young?
Dude, you’ve been here for eight years and you have a total of TEN posts. And 20% of them are in this thread. What’s the deal?
I thought this was only on americonline, and then it left americaonline and then I saw it n here and I signed up, but then I forgot it and then yesterday I saw a straightdope VHS tape at a yard sale and I remembered.
So then i came back.
Welcome back! It’s been dead here without you!
Humans are genetically similar to other primates, this is true. But preventing living things from eating does not keep them young; it makes them dead.
Thank you I have many questions.
Wasn;t there a thing like if you don’t eat you start to age slower like a hibernator?
Wait wait wait wait wait. There’s a straightdope VHS tape?
There was a study done with monkeys [sic]. One monkey was fed a reduced-calorie diet, and the other could eat whatever he wanted. After 20 years, the first monkey looked young and fit, while the other looked old and fat.
But which monkey was happier?
Yeah, the whole Beta thing didn’t work out.
Nevermind
You’re probably thinking of calories restriction. Up till now, there is zero evidence that it works on humans to extend a normal lifespan.
There is zero evidence that anything can slow aging in humans, just to forestall the next obvious question.
So it is a FRAUD like Kevin Trudeau?
Absent evidence indicating otherwise, this is a safe assertion to make.
Thank you
They had this for TV and the lady made a tape. And then she sold the tape.
No. Kevin Trudeau is a total fraud with no scientific or medical understanding of anything.
Calorie restriction is a hypothesis that has successfully passed some tests on animals. That automatically puts it into a different category.
The gap between “successfully passed some tests on animals” and “works to lengthen the human lifespan” is huge. Thousands of hypotheses never jump that gap. This may be one of them, or it may not be. Right now there’s no evidence that it’s true. I wouldn’t go any farther than that.
