A recent reading of Fantastic Voyage by transhumanist futurist Ray Kurzweil over Yule sparked in me a significant interest in life extension, and the practical implementations and consequences of such an endeavor.
Undeniably, the methodology and scientific breakthroughs in life extension technology presents a considerable opportunity for White racial demographics. Presently, we Whites suffer from a grossly under-fertile population that is looking more and more like the occupants of a retirement village with every passing year. Indeed, physically and operationally, modern Europe is like a carefully managed elderly family member. But what if we could reverse this problem? What if we could increase the average life span to 150 years and beyond? And further, what if we could cease and then regress the process of aging, ensuring our people a long and healthy lifespan that can largely eliminate the problem of an older population?
I have had a periphery interest in the optimum diet and lifestyle for a while now. There is a lot of promotion by health nuts on the blogosphere of the virtues of the “paleolithic diet”, or caveman diet, which in essence mandates a consumption of the foods our cave-dwelling ancestors consumed, based on a belief that that is what the optimum dietary components for the modern homo sapien would be. While I believe aspects of it are sound (high protein, moderate fat, low carbohydrate emphasis), the modern availability and condition of food changes the necessity of the paleo diet. Indeed, there is a lot more that can be done to maximise the positive effects, such as supplementation and potential future technological advances and therapies that a purely paleolithic diet will not take advantage of. In a sense, we can maximise the benefits and minimise the harm to our bodies in ways our paleolithic ancestors could not with the benefits of technology and mass production, and that illustrates the limitations of this diet.
Interestingly, Fantastic Voyage’s dietary and nutritional advice echoed similar principles contained in the White Man’s Bible by Creativity founder Ben Klassen, written in 1973, including the contemporary medical institutions’ emphasis on treating symptomatic problems over addressing the cause, the incredible damage habitual and high dosage sugar consumption does to the body, how cooking foods (especially in cooking oil or butter) can exacerbate and create larger levels of toxicity contained within, and a dietary focus on vegetables, nuts and fruit over meat. A limiting factor of Klassen’s analysis I have thus far determined is in his admonition of the use of supplements and drugs, which may or may not be simply due to Creativity’s more nature-oriented focus, or perhaps a lack of insight into how enzymes work at the time.
Programmed Death:
A major obstacle to life extension is contained within our bodies. The Hayflick limit, which limits how many times cells can replicate, are dictated by the telomerase enzyme, which dictates when and if a cell will die via being responsible for the telomere lines contained on the end of each of our chromosomes in all of our cells.
The telomeres drops off a line of DNA code each time it divides, and the length of the telomeres dictate how many times cells can undergo cell division and replacement. Once all of these telomeres have depleted by numerous cell division, the cell is destined for programmed death. In essence, overcoming this cap on cellular reproduction that leads to cell death and inevitable aging is a fundamental issue of importance.
Diet:
The summation Kurzweil’s programme offers is a fairly simple set of parameters for adherents:
- Little or no wheat.
- Lots of (multi-coloured) vegetables (especially raw).
- Eat a variety of nuts daily.
- Eat organic.
- Minimise red meat, eat fish and lean chicken.
- Eliminate or reduce sugar.
- Green tea> coffee. (Coffee is very acidic and hard on the body)
- Moderate your consumption and have even-sized meals, including breakfast.
Interestingly, a study of rats and calorie restriction pointed to the conclusion that rats which were consuming a non-malnutritional restricted amount of their dietary calorie requirements actually lived significantly longer than free-fed rats. Not only that, they aged little and suffered less from age-related diseases and disorders. A test on monkeys shed the same results. This echoes Klassen’s promotion of fasting for health in the White Man’s Bible.
Knowing Your Predisposition:
An important aspect of human genetic differences are single nucleotide polymorphisms. A nucleotide can be considered small units of information contained within your DNA, telling your body how to develop, react to various environmental stimuli, and numerous other functions. Think of them as a byte. These bytes are contained within DNA as the structural units of the genetic code, contained in pairs of three nucleotides per codon (genetic line of code). The four types of nucleotides are abbreviated as A, G, C and T, or Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. In groups of three, these create amino acid or proteins, the latter of which carries out the heavy lifting within the cell.
In essence, a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) is when these codons have replicated differently (say, an AAT line replicates as AAA) in different individuals, subspecies or species. Groups of these SNPs are called haplotypes, which help to indicate differences between different racial groups, and their particular tendencies towards different physical characteristics, and their predisposition to diseases and medical conditions (for instance, blacks having much higher incidence of sickle cell anemia).
Knowing what SNP’s you or your race possesses is important, as it can give you an indication of what kind of diseases you are more susceptible to. Genetic testing is one method you can use to find out your susceptibility, and we can look at our racial and ethnic predispositions and plan accordingly. More specifically, we should also look at what particular diseases and ailments our families tend to get, and take action to dampen the potential complications.
Supplements and Vitamins:
Kurzweil promotes several universal supplements to all health-conscious readers with no particular specialised needs, such as vitamin A for immune-system function and eye, bone and skin health. Vitamin D for bones, and vitamin E, vitamin C, and B Vitamins.
Vitamin E and C are especially important for protecting against cancer and cell health. The reason is these help prevent the proliferation of free radicals, which are unstable molecules (pairs of atoms) that steal electrons from neighboring molecules to stabilise themselves, thereby converting them also into free radicals, ensuring a destructive cycle of cellular damage and an increasing risk of cancerous cell growth.
A useful supplementary antioxidant is Lutein, which is proven to promote eye health and battle with age-related macular degeneration. In this era of heavy computer usage, its integral to look after your eye health as much as humanly possible. Lutein is contained within broccoli, kiwi fruit, kale, grapes and corn.
Additionally, a toxic by-product in the body named homocysteine can accumulate in individuals (especially men) to harmful levels, and is associated with a much larger risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke and even Alzheimers, diseases rife in the modern Western world. Taking Vitamin B6, B12 and Folic acid can reduce these levels.
For more information on how you can optimise your dietary and supplementary intake, I encourage you to do your own research. Here is an excellent database on supplements and vitamins. It contains a plethora of information on which supplements are effective for helping with various conditions and diseases, their interactions with other substances, potential side effects, and how much evidence backs the purported claims of their benefit.
The Future:
There’s a lot we can do it increase our life span and standard of living. While presently we do not possess the technology to indefinitely extend our life spans, this does not discount what we can do to life significantly above the average time frame. Through proper diet, technological insight, supplementation and regular exercise we can further increase the probability that we will live in a society where such technology is readily accessible, as technology is exponentially increasing in capabilities.
As scientifically minded White nationalists, we need to find tangible solutions to our demographic problems while strengthening our own positions. I see life-extension as a bold step towards the development of a White intellectual elite in the West, where great White leaders like William Luther Pierce live far beyond the normal life span, able to take full advantage of accumulating wisdom, technology, and life experiences.
This is an incredible article! Great job! I’ve recently been working for a 90 year old man. He’s rich and is still working. I asked him his secrests to longevity. He said that he:
1.) Follows the American Heart Association’s “Heart Healthy Diet.”
2.) Gets regular exercise.
3.) Runs to the doctor over any minor change in his body.
4.) Stays extremely busy, so he always has a reason to get up in the morning.
Most of our health problems today result from meat and overconsumption. In addition to being vegan, I don’t consume alcohol, sugar, salt, caffeine or juice. I drink only water. I have also abandoned the gorge yourself three times a day meal paradygm. I snack throughout the day. In this way, I don’t eat “meals” per se. I carry a couple of pounds worth of nuts in my backpack and a few pieces of fruit and snack throughout the day.
When I eat at a friend or family member’s house is where I really notice the difference. Since they know I’m vegan they make me salads. The salads are gargantuine! They are so accustomed to overconsumption that they figure a vegan will eat as much produce as they will eat of meat and potatoes. When I finish dinner it looks like I didn’t even touch the salad.
Right wingers slander us by saying that vegans are weak and have no energy. That’s a pure load of crap. I regularly go on 20 mile walks, bike rides, and skate board outings of which my carnivorous will have no part.
A proud moment for me happened yesterday when I was celebrating a birthday with my family. Four kids were eating pie ice cream and my son passed on it without any concern. He knew that he was allowed to, but didn’t want to. I even volunteered to play with him in the other room so that he wouldn’t have to see it, but he said it was no problem looking at it. He didn’t care. He always does this, but it still amazes me and makes me proud.
I’ve never understood the utility of consuming a huge dinner. It’s the most useless meal of the deal given that our metabolism slows down at night.
You’re right. Over-consumption of processed food saps your energy more so than limited consumption. After all, your body has to expend energy to digest all that food. That’s why when people are sick they crave simpler, easy to process foods like fruit.
One issue that nags me is that plants are not just static beings. They too have defences from predators. Of course, they do have certain rare nutrients and photochemicals. It seems to me that very little research has been done on what secret poisons fruits and vegatables contain.
We have to be a bit careful with nutrition. There are levels of understanding.
Vitamin E is not just Vitamin E. What form? d-Alpha? Full spectrum? How about absorbtion? Every vitamin comes in different forms, each with different characteristics. Alot of times what we buy at the grocery store is the cheap stuff, the stuff that is the easiest to make. Not necessarily the best or most useful form.
As a rule of thumb, I buy the most expensive of everything. Usually, but not always, it is of the highest quality and will more likely, but not always, be made by a higher percentage of Whites. I don’t take supplements. I can see their value, but I believe that I eat enough of a variety of fruits and vegetables to get those things in my diet already.
More research is always beneficial, but the existing research already shows that more fruits and vegetables and less meat, sugar and processed foods will dramatically improve your health and reduce risk factors for most major diseases.
I believe it. I’m not one who needs research or peer review to believe a thing. Still, I always look for the hidden disadvantages. My engineering instinct demands that for every benefit, there be a cost.
baaltanit says: As a rule of thumb, I buy the most expensive of everything.
That has got to be the stupidest way of evaluating food source and value that I have ever heard.
This is my text from below:
Chicago had books written about it’s meat processing a 100 years ago, think it’s much different in Chicago today? Nope, it’s not. Chicago is a shithole.
Cop behind, you are at a corner posted no right on red, can you make a right turn on red?
OF COURSE YOU CAN. NO LAWS ARE ENFORCED IN THIS CITY (except against “not negro” cab drivers). This city is a shit hole.
That may be, but I’m talking about fruits and vegetables. Coming from a guy who lives on ham sandwiches, coffee and beer, I’ll give your criticism the weight it’s due.
Ryu, you’re right about many vegetables having a significant amount of toxins.
This is partly why you don’t see a preponderance of traditional peoples eating salads as a staple.
Most veggies tend to be either cooked or pickled first.
An important question to ask is: does this part of the plant of the plant ‘want’ to be eaten?
A fruit for instance is generally a pretty good bet because it’s meant to be as palatable as possible to a seed distributor.
Leaves or roots on the other hand are generally going to have defenses. It’s not that they’re necessarily going to poison anybody, mainly that many yield negative net gains in calories and nutrients.
I would also note that grains’ abysmal reputation comes partly from the fact that modern food manufacturers don’t process them properly for human consumption.
Seed husks in particular tend to be tough, toxic barriers that protect the germ inside.(Thus many ‘whole wheat’ products are actually highly toxic.)
Traditionally, any kind of seed food is germinated for a day or two, triggering the seed husk to soften and lower its defenses in preparation for sprouting.
It’s ‘hacks’ like this one that made grains usable as a dietary staple for past generations.
Baal,
Buying the most expensive is a somewhat reasonable algorithm in the absence of detailed consumer knowledge, but with some knowledge you can do a lot better and be better able to gauge where to find your point of diminishing returns.
In general I’m willing to pay quite a bit extra for quality tree nuts, butter, cheese, and raw honey. However, most of the ‘fair trade’ and ‘organic’ stuff doesn’t necessarily return good value.
In fact, I find that there’s always products in health food markets where they’ve taken all the same shortcuts.
For instance take some of the ‘cage free’ eggs that cost 3-4 times as much as normal eggs.
If you read the small print, it usually means the chickens are just given a slightly roomier area – in exactly the same sort of indoor factory farm.
Worse, the packaging almost unanimously brags about ‘fed a vegan diet.’ This always makes me laugh because this is clearly just a euphemism for soy and corn feed, the same stuff any other factory farm chicken gets.
What would be worth 3-4 times market price for me?
Chickens allowed in the outdoors, allowed to root around for insects, and given varied non-corn and soy based feed.
Since you’re vegan, Baal, there’s special need for caution.
I’ve noticed at health food stores that much of the food targeted at your demographic is just overpriced variations on the exact same corn and soy byproducts used to make twinkies.
Interesting comments. How do you know so much about grains, etc.?
I’m not too worried about my veggies. They seem to work. Soy and corn are not the ingredients in Twinkies that bother me.
While the rest of the population are slurping down soda, alcohol, potato chips and cheeseburgers, it always strikes me as odd that people are concerned for my health or the health of my vegetables.
It is interesting when you describe the differences between salads and fruit for example. Other people assume I eat salad. I only eat it at other people’s homes. They eat salad because it tastes good after they dump salty oily creamy sugary dressing all over it. I don’t use dressing. So salads don’t do a lot for me. I eat fruit and nuts and steamed vegetables. Salad is bitter. I think the body naturally draws us toward what it wants. I let evolution be my guide. Interestingly enough, it guides me in the way you describe toward fruit and away from lettuce and roots.
Mr. Baal,
I don’t just rely on the mainstream sources for information. I might look at a bunch of sites with dietary information and like Ryu, use a sort of engineering logic as a razor to figure what makes sense.
For instance the: “What part of the plant ‘wants’ to be eaten?” question I used before.
It’s a childish, silly-sounding question, but for me it is a tool that allows me to sift through large amounts of information on the internet and in books giving peer reviewed research and common hearsay equal weight. May the best information win, regardless of who it comes from.
Salad actually can be delicious, but it needs a proper fat to make those leaves assimilable.
Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sea salt works wonders on a salad.
The ordinary dressings are pretty much all pure soy oil with some corn syrup, artificial flavor, and food coloring. I can’t blame you for your lack of enthusiasm.
I apologize if I’ve come across as just another person out to get vegans.
Most of that reaction you’ve experienced is a natural result of behaving in a way that flouts orthodox customs. It’s just human social instinct at work.
The other part, however, is that vegans who don’t know what they’re doing are notorious for trying to live off of corn and soy derivatives until they have hypo-thyroidism and goiter. There’s also all those horror stories of idiot couples trying to feed their newborns soy formula.
Steaming is one of the best ways to prepare veggies. You sound like you have a much better idea of what you’re doing than the vegans I knew back in college who lived off of salads, tofu, boca burgers, and soy milk.
They tended to have a puffy, bluish, pale, overall cold and watery yin look.
I got the impression they just didn’t have enough warming, yang foods in their diets in addition to their abuse of animal feed byproducts.
I agree with on salad and vegetables but they don’t stave the feeling of hunger for long.
Here is my take ….. Increased food availability has outpaced the human body’s ability to adapt to food availability.
In July of 2009 I weighed in at 212.6, I was not working at the time, and had been trying to lose weight for some time but was unable. But I started losing. So I went with it.
And I began to think — because I had a lot of time. Ten generations ago (two hundred years) we ate what we harvested, we ate what was available as there were only certain things that would keep, and there probably weren’t three hot meals at day for the average person. Just five generations ago, there were no 24 hour restaurants or grocery stores. You missed dinner you were probably out of luck. Electric or gas stoves were barely being used (would someone use a wood stove three times a day in the summer?), refrigeration wasn’t standard in a home. Hermetically sealed food was just invented. These are a lot of significant changes over a short period. I am not a geneticist, but I do know a creature can’t adapt to such abrupt changes in such a relatively short time.
So I started eating just one meal a day, lunch, and a morning and evening snack. Snacks generally included some kind of nuts, maybe a banana, a basic light snack. Lunch was generally a 600 calorie meal — whatever was in the house then because I was unemployed and eating the cupboards empty to avoid spending. Now lunch is generally a ham sandwich with cheese and mustard (what I eat is better than a plain ham and cheese). Breakfast in a big americano, with probably 6 ounces of h&h. I have one more americano during the day, same way. Roasted and salted sunflower seeds I eat a lot of, but I don’t snack that much, probably just enough to get enough fiber or similar acting food in my diet. Generally have a few beers at night.
So in March 2010 I hit my target, 150 pounds. I generally weigh in at about 147-148 now. Nearly 1/3 of my weight gone (I’m 5’7 w/o shoes), I wouldn’t mind losing a five more but then I probably would need to get new clothes again as I am just on the edge of dropping below a 31″ waist.
Now here is one of the things I discovered. Prior to getting laid-off, if lunch was 30 minutes late, my attitude changed, one hour and I couldn’t concentrate and very bitchy. I was addicted to food, our entire society is addicted to food. That’s why I mentioned 5 & 10 generations of time and not being able to adapt. Our bodies have not adapted to the current standard diet. Now if lunch is late, yeah I start to get hungry, but no big mood swings.
I don’t consider my diet Paleo, though it is pretty similar. Think about what you could eat where you live if it was sometime between December 1811 and April 1812. Squash, potatoes, rutabagas, maybe apples but only if you have a second root cellar. Bread. Oatmeal. Maybe some salt cured meat. Milk from the cow. I guess down South you might have been doing some citrus, don’t know. Point is, there is not much out there that “just keeps” or is available.
I walk 2.5 miles home from work everyday, should only take 30 minutes but generally takes 50+ because of all the fat people (Chicago is full of them) I have to walk around and stop lights. That’s my physical exercise, except maybe for some dumbbells if I think of it, and some stretching exercises for my back — suffered from sciatica before the weight loss.
I think the FDA is dead wrong about what our caloric intake should be.
Oh yeah, when I was unemployed and started losing weight from just eating less, I pondered what exercise could I do to abet weight loss through diet —— significant weight loss CAN NOT be accomplished via exercise. Look up what a half hour or hour of something can do in terms of calories burned and then figure out how many days it will take to kill one pound of fat that is equal to 3500 calories ….. you would be lucky to kill two pounds a week, and that is if the exercise didn’t generate hunger for more food than you wanted to actually consume.
I am forgetting something but I have to run to the store, maybe I’ll remember.
Great comment. You’ll lose that extra weight if you cut out the beer. Beer really bloats you, besides shrinking your brain. The high salt between the cured ham and salted nuts along with the alcohol and espresso is making me think that acid reflux is in your near future.
Walking is great for toning your legs, but it is not helping your heart. You need to get your heart rate up, which will not occur with a walk even if it were ten miles. Dumbells are great for toning your body if you want to look like a metrosexual, but not good for anything else. Congrats on losing all of that weight!
I think the food addiction you mention is more to do with what we eat. Highly processed sugars, complex carbohydrates and high Glycemic index processed wheat products. These surge our insulin levels, leaving you drained and tired after consumption, and craving more.
In short, people crave the chemicals more than the “food” itself, in my view.
I agree. People are eating for the flavor. If you eat healthy food you won’t eat as much because it tastes like shit.
Food addiction is really the best way to describe it. Our bodies crave fat and sugar. It was a reward system that evolution equipped us with to motivate us to go out on long hunts that lasted several days and were often not fruitful.
It is now detrimental because we have access to as much as we want. Our ancestors lived on the brink of starvation for most of human history. Remember also that our human history is only a blip on the screen of our total evolutionary history.
With fat sugar and chemicals we actually conspire against ouf bodies in order to do it harm. We trick it in this way to consume more than it would under normal circumstances. We cover poison with flavor. The same is true for alcohol. We put the poison in a flavored drink in order to trick it into ingesting the poison. The brain goes haywire, the body becomes lethargic and often tries to reject it by causing one to vomit.
That was what my whole post was about …… that our human history is only a blip on the screen of our total evolutionary history.
Year is 1830: We’re hunting we walk we find some berries, will they make it back to where we live: NO, eat them. Keep hunting. Maybe we got a 1830 sugar rush but we can’t depend on it like a 24 hour supermarket, Hardees, McDonalds, or Starbucks.
The same is true for alcohol. We put the poison in a flavored drink in order to trick it into ingesting the poison.
Alcohol was a method of preservation. But of course it wasn’t for making Apple-tinis.
baaltanit I counter:
Walking is great for toning your legs, but it is not helping your heart. You need to get your heart rate up, which will not occur with a walk even if it were ten miles.
2.5 to 3 miles at 10 minute mile pace after subtracting stop light ime. Walking against the flow of traffic to a train station against people who can’t stand behind no one else so they fan out 15 wide. Having to walk around negroes who always have to be in front at the stop light just so you are forced to walk way around a platoon of them again after you just passed them 7/8 of a block ago.
Dumbells are great for toning your body if you want to look like a metrosexual, but not good for anything else.
I own 10, 20, & 30 pound dumbbells, I use them for strengthening generally neglected muscles of the forearm, nothing else. I don’t do the sets you think I do with them.
Johnny Dissidence: In short, people crave the chemicals more than the “food” itself, in my view.
I rarely eat out anymore. A person I work with saw me making a sandwich at work, didn’t really think it was weird or anything, but asked, I told her unless you make it yourself, you don’t know what the food is really.
Now, knowing 98% of the time where / what my food is from, I notice smells. I made kraut last week end and threw in all beef hot dogs (that I had bought previously), pork chops, and some “gourmet” polish kielbasi, there was a smell coming out of that pot that was plain nasty and I am pretty sure it was those “gourmet” locally made (like I should ever trust a Chicago trend chaser) polish kielbasi.
(In other words Chicago needs the Chicago Public Health / Restaurant Inspection Department or whatever it is called because the average “thinks he’s hip Chicagoan” would poison his neighbor for $5.)
I will never deny stating that.
And the hip thinkers in Chicago are garbage. I walk, why would I want to be on a bus full of metrosexual (hint hint closet homosexual) faggots. Chicago is as gay as San Fran-fag-o if not more. I fucking hate this place.
Ha ha! Mexicans are like that too. They’ll walk straight into you just to dominate the sidewalk. I always have to choose whether I want to walk on the grass or go to jail for fighting over the sidewalk.
I know what you mean by your 1830 idea. I was talking about prehistoric times before we had agriculture and horses.
Your entire point is great.
When one gives up food addiction one experiences withdrawal just as if coming off an illegal drug. You feel like you’re starving until your body readjusts.
If you give up that coffee, you may find yourself sleeping for an entire day and maybe even the better part of a weekend. You will feel pure exhaustion until your body readjusts.
I notice actually, that alcohol and tobacco consumption are declining in the States.
Food has become the social drug of choice.
The typical American who eats three large meals a day with snacks in between experiences a sugar crash if they stop eating for more than a few hours. Their livers are profligate with their glycogen supply because they’ve never known scarcity.
As rjp points out, people didn’t exactly have a supermarket across the street for most of history. The body adjusts well to more sporadic eating patterns if one can get beyond the initial emotional dependence and sugar/hormonal crash.
I find it’s important to have plenty of space between meals.
-The digestive system isn’t always working. The body gets a chance to use its energy elsewhere.
The mind is sharper, workouts are much better on an empty stomach.
-The body learns to be much more efficient with its energy. It doesn’t get hungry nearly as often. Nor does it require as much food to be satisfied.
I often don’t eat until sundown, or I’ll begin my day with a snack and wait until nightfall to have my main meal.
I would point out that controlled calorie intake is positively correlated with longevity in several species. And there’s plenty of anecdotal information concerning humans.
Possibly, a constant feeding cycle that keeps the metabolism running at maximum speed is not in our best long term interests.
Though our bodies constantly repair themselves, the information suggests we have a finite number of miles on our vehicle and it’s up to us to use them wisely.
Doctors say that you should eat small meals throughout the day rather than skipping meals or eating three large meals. Eating one large meal before you go to bed sounds like a way to gain weight. Your metabolism slows down from the meals you skip and then you sleep on your food.
It’s sounds interesting, but not healthy.
The body adjusts well to more sporadic eating patterns if one can get beyond the initial emotional dependence and sugar/hormonal crash.
I can attest to that personally. I have made a habit of not eating at all during most work shifts and breakfast beforehand and it works quite well. I do still drink coffee (without sugar) and green tea for the mild stimulant effects. The acidic effects on the body are detrimental, but I consider it an necessary stop gap to my natural tendency towards fatigue.
Much of overeating is caused simply by the nutritional paucity of junk food. Our natural cravings for nutrients are never satisfied. Plus these cravings are aggravated by insulin overloads and MSG.
Yes, you are right that low metabolism in combination with addictive junk food compounds the negative effects.
I address this problem by staying away from junk food. Consequently, I stay lean without effort. If anything, because my metabolism slows, I crave less food in general.
I listen to doctors if they can think for themselves, but too many adhere to a party line they read out of some textbook.
Worse, the textbook wisdom seems to seesaw back and forth just like diet fads.
Any more, the food pyramid seems like a chart of food lobby dominance.
A pattern we see in nature: Creatures with higher metabolisms burn out faster.
You made an excellent point about sugar and the liver. I heard a lecture about sugar. People who drink soda and fruit juice are attacking their liver in exactly the same way as an alcoholic.
And likewise with foodaholics.
The root ill is simple mismanagement of the liver.
Foods with high fructose corn syrup are particularly tough on our bodies because sweets in nature are typically a mixture of glucose and fructose.
Even sucrose table sugar breaks down into both fructose and glucose. Its main problem is that our bodies face a net loss of nutrients in breaking it down into its constituent monosaccharides.
When we down a sugar solution that’s 90% fructose, we’re faced with instant overload. Dealing with that kind of strain is extremely hard on the pancreas.
Though as you pointed out, straight up fruit juice is a great way to OD. People don’t stop to think about how many apples they’d have to eat to get a single glass of apple juice.
The article came so close and then backed away .
The ability to prevent deterioration and re-grow Telomeres IS key.
But , how can that be done?
SUPPLEMENTATION
It’s more than just vitamins.
It’s the newly available products such as PQQ. It’s supplementing with Resevertrol, Rhodiola, Acetyl L Carnitene / R Lipoic Acid .. so much not mentioned here.
I encourage you to go much deeper into your research.
For example, try here : http://www.longecity.org
Yes, I agree with you. This article mostly offered an introduction to the world of life extension, diet and the genetic components. I learned of a lot of these supplementary chemicals you mention after I wrote this piece.
I’m planning to make a part two.
