        have found only one technique that reliably extends life span in multiple
        species. That technique is caloric restriction (CR). In experiments
        with yeast, fruit flies, worms, and mice, CR has been proven to extend
        life by as much as 70%. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol3no05.htm"><P><FONT size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#fd9a00"><STRONG>What

        CR in the very first issue of the <A href="http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol1no01.htm">Juvenon Health
          Journal in July 2002</A>. We return to it now because an exciting recent
        6-year study has demonstrated CR to have a <B>significant effect on
          humans</B>, with respect to improving the profile of markers of heart
        disease and atherosclerosis, and hence, possibly, life span. The CR
        diet, in addition to dramatically improving biochemical markers reflective
        of a healthy vascular system, also reduces plasma levels of a marker
        of inflammation (as indicated by C-reactive protein). Consequently,
        the likelihood of dying from heart disease or stroke, and perhaps cancer,
        may be greatly reduced.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EF9DDD04-8A6A-47F3-BBF7-689E2F831CC9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
