This article may be of some interest to those on the list:

  JT Proceedings of the national academy of sciences
  DA OCT 27 1998 v 95 n 22
  PG 13091
  AU Lakowski, Bernard
  AU Hekimi, Siegfried
  TI The genetics of caloric restriction in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Doing a quick search on Medline brings up lots of studys on calorie
restriction. Are any extropians practising it? Is there a threshold that
needs to be reached for it to work effectively or is any CR good (so long
as you aren't missing out on adequate nutrients)?

thanks, patrick
