Lots of short summaries
from my readings I think should be shared:
From John Furber 2018

higher income, and more exercise; Rapamycin slows epigenetic aging […] Read more »
Dear
colleagues in our search for optimum nutrition and healthspan,
Please
indulge me as I share my past and future expectations for 2019. I have shared that I moved, was cutting down
on reading, and hoping to send essays rather just headlines. After a single
essay, my life changed a lot.
I have been studying human aging for
decades, and […] Read more »

of death from any cause was 12.7 events per 1000 person-years in the […] Read more »
Between moving and preparing to market a nutritional
supplement and dealing with Wisconsin winter, it is a very challenging
time. I hope you enjoy these headlines.

SCIENTIFIC BASIS AND
CITATIONS SUPPORTING VALUE OF ANTIONC

lawyers to petition for FDA approval. So there are rarely claims for the

Trying to find
time to write essays, there are so many distractions. See index of all postings here.

With caveats stated already,

wonderful things daily? Give me a break! I am a professor – do as I say, not as
