  Working with Jamie and her producer was a delight. The excellent report they produced, was exemplary: Jamie, as reporter, actually let us express our thoughts without manipulating the content to mean something totally different. She helped us tell the truth about just how satisfying the CR Way of life can be:
  
  “And because you feel better, being loving with others is easier,” ...

• CR Research Moves Forward!

  11/17/2008 1:38:00 PM

  Phase three of the CR research project on Long-Term Effects of CR on Humans has begun! This post is a “snapshot” of the research that we are involved with at the renowned Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Begun in 2002, it is the first longitudinal study of CR in humans, so we are evaluated every few years and compared to “our former selves.” It is also the first study of long-term CR in humans – very different from eating fewer calories for a few weeks.

• IGF-I and Its Importance in Calorie Restriction

  9/24/2008 1:12:00 PM

  Following on the recent blog post about high amounts of protein intake, some may wonder about the real significance of excessive dietary stimulation of IGF-I when calorie restriction is being practiced. Dr. Steve Spindler of  UC, Riverside, said it simply at the Calorie restriction and Glucose Control Workshop, “When we feed our CR mice IGF-I, they lose their CR benefits.”
  
  Look at what happens with CR’d animals:
  
  Dietary restriction reduces insulin-like growth factor I levels, which modulates apoptosis, cell proliferation, and tumor progression in p53-deficient mice.

• Excess dietary protein negates key longevity marker

  9/19/2008 1:06:00 PM

  All, Scientists at Washington University have just released a profound research paper*, indicating just how important limiting protein is for optimal health. Dr. Luigi Fontana, lead researcher on the study, makes several points in the paper that have direct application to everyone following a CR diet, as well as anyone who wants to lose weight by following a high-protein regimen:
  

  • Increased lifespan and health span can be produced in several species by reduced functional mutations in the insulin/IGF-I pathway.*
  • In calorie-restricted rodents that gain protection against cancer and longer lifespan, IGF-I concentrations are reduced by 40%.*
  • However, in two ...
