In the first place, the owner of that "Quackwatch"
is an idiot who has nothing better to do than go
around belittling people who have novel ideas
which go against convention, including sites like
this one which advocate life extension knowledge
and practice.
As I had told William O'Rights last time, just wait
till this guy has cancer - then he'll be running up
and down, clutching at straws, trying everythng
under the sun to save his own skin.
It also surprises me that Leonard Hayflick is
one of the writers of this article.
" 51 internationally recognized scientists "
To be quite frank, I don't think very highly of these people.
If we were to listen to these "experts" to the letter, we
might as well just sit down, shake legs, keep strictly
within the RDA, do nothing else and wait for death.
" Optimum lifestyles, including exercise and a
balanced diet along with other proven methods
for maintaining good health, contribute to increases
in life expectancy by delaying or preventing the
occurrence of age-related diseases. There is no
scientific evidence, however, to support the claim
that these practices increase longevity by
modifying the processes of aging. "
I find that absurd. Ask them to try telling this to
the Vilcabamban Indians, the Georgians, the Hunzas,
the Okinawans as well as the Chinese Bama and
Hetian communities.
Common sense will tell us that :
Accelerated degenerative diseases = Early Death
A prime example is diabetes, considered a model
of accelerated aging, with its numerous hastened
degenerative diseases centered around atherosclerosis
and kidney failure.
And they have forgotten one other thing. The above
communities are the happiest people in the world.
