Greetings Extropians,
The evidence keeps mounting up, folks. In some of my previous posts I've
mentioned the work of Drs. Walford and Parr (e-mail me if you need the
references again). Walford, of course, with his work on calorie
restriction and Parr work on insulin levels and accelerated/retarded ageing.
Well heres another one which I feel supports the above work. This is from
the JAMA, about as mainstream and repectable as you can get:
Dietary Fiber, Weight Gain,
and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Young Adults
Oct 27th, 1999 Vol 282, No. 16
http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v282n16/full/joc90657.html#r4
All of the above work implicates high insulin levels as the likely culprit
in a host of age-related diseases and (dare I say?) the ageing process
itself.
Is anyone out there NOT convinced to lower their intake of carbohydrates,
increase their fiber intake and choose carbs from low on the glycemic index?
BTW, I did manage to get actual copies of Parr's work (and yes, they were
paid for) And I will be posting them as soon as I can get them scanned.
Regards,
Al Villalobos
