It is like climate change, that is going through two phases: 1) Too soon to be certain, and 2) Too late to do anything about it.
For a 32 year old?? You can't be serious.
Oh come on. You think that 32 is too young for resveratrol, but 35 is OK? The number of physiological differences between a 32 year old and a 35 year old that would represent a change in the hazard of resveratrol use is... zero.
16 is too young. 24 or 25 might be a reasonable time to use it if you want, or not use it. Resveratrol is not likely to provide a significant longevity increase in humans consuming a good diet. We do have evidence that it provides benefits in both healthy humans and humans with a variety of disease states. That's the reason to use it, not longevity.
so if somebody is eating healthy and exercising, Res wont increase that individuals lifespan?
i didn't realize that there were more benefits for taking Res. what are those exactly? i remember reading the thread that Pike showed me about Cyclist just lasting longer with endurance and strength because of Res and they were past their prime, surpassing their friends and younger Cyclist who were not taking Res.
I believe the jury is still out on whether resveratrol can increase mammalian life span; the mice used in the one negative study were very inbred and were infected with a retrovirus that causes lymphoma; the NIA is supposedly repeating the experiment with genetically diverse mice and we may know more in two years or so. HOWEVER: the mice in Sinclair's study, though they did not live longer, were healthier by several markets: more physically vigorous, better cardiac function, and healthier, younger-looking coats. Also note that his earlier paper showed over-fed mice in Sinclair's earlier study lived longer when fed resveratrol. Most people in the West probably qualify as overfed. An overlooked finding in Sinclair's normal diet mouse study: Caloric restriction (EOD feeding) increased mouse lifespan by about 10%, but EOD feeding plus a hefty dose of resveratrol increased life-span a few per-cent more. The only way I can account for this: it is known caloric restriction (CR) protects against lymphoma in mice, resveratrol does not, but resveratrol also protected against death by another mechanism than does CR, so the two had an additive effect. If someone has an alternate explanation that better fits the facts, I'd like to hear it. In the meantime I await the results of the NIA test.
Open door: I appreciate your contribution to the group, you have added some worthwhile contributions. However I wish you wouldn't hang on Sinclair's every word as if it were gospel, particularly things he may have said off-the-cuff, or been misquoted by the media. Even if accurately reported his statements frequently seem to be speculation, or even hype to boost the reputation of Sirtirs' other compounds. His published papers are very much another matter.
A parable: my first computer was a
Sinclair ZX80 I built. I actually made money writing a few programs for it, but my Sinclair has been superseded by more advanced models.
