I’ve talked before about the “free radical theory of aging”-this concept that aging can be thought of as the oxidation of our bodies, just like rust is the oxidation of metal. But, what are the “possible implications for humans?” This recent review, noting that “vegan diets,” in part because they tend to be naturally low in methionine, “may prove to be a useful nutritional strategy in cancer growth control,” also looked at “methionine restriction” and “life-span extension.” It seems that the less methionine there is in body tissues, the longer different animals tend to live. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Below is an approximation of this video’s audio content.
