what we figured out was that it wasn't just that metabolism was changing or as we used to think was slowing down and generating fewer free radicals it was a real breakthrough and revelation to realize that even in yeast cells and now we know in our bodies when you're hungry your body turns on what we call longevity genes the genes that I have worked on my whole career since we first linked them to aging in the 1990s I called the sirtuins
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
There are known mechanisms to caloric restriction that are beneficial we turn on genes like sirtuins we turn on genes that are quote unquote longevity genes when we do caloric restriction
we have shown over the years that they respond to being hungry and the hungrier you are without malnutrition the better they fight against aging and diseases of aging
