In my own laboratory at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">UCLA</st1:PlaceName> + <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Medical</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, + we have extended the maximum life span of fish by 300 percent." This is + the voice of Roy Walford, M.D., who insists that we can live longer than we + expect much longer but it can only be done by slowing down our actual rate of + biological aging. And he has a very specific prescription to do it: eat less + food.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So who is this guy? Hang + on; he's a real scientist, and the author of five books, one of which is <i>The + Immunologic Theory of Aging</i>. Dr. Walford has been on the medical + faculty of UCLA for over 30 years, and is a member of the NAS Committee on + Aging. He has received shelves full of awards, including the American Aging + Association Research Award, the <span class=SpellE>Kleemeir</span> Award of + the <span class=SpellE>Geriontological</span> Society, and the Henderson + Award of the American Geriatrics Society. The doctor is an acknowledged + heavyweight in the field of aging research.</span><span style='font-size: + 11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>He knows a lot about + nutrition and dieting, too. In this book, he has a lot to say about various popular + diets including the Atkins, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scarsdale</st1:place></st1:City> + and <span class=SpellE>Pritikin</span>. As Dr. Walford concisely reviews + decades of research on aging, he makes it not only painless but downright + interesting to read. He has traveled all over the world, and tells a great + story (in fact, a lot of great stories), usually with an imbedded anti-aging + lesson. He has a wonderful sense of history, and his enthusiasm and wit is + everywhere evident in his writing. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> + <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Dr. Walford, while + calling death the ultimate crime against consciousness, also tells us that + "Sponges do not age. Nor do sea anemones." Not a lot of + consciousness there, admittedly. He has tripled the lifespan of fish (who + cares?) and greatly extended the lifespan of mice, rats and some assorted + microscopic critters (again, who cares?). Well, I do, for one. I at + least want to know how he did it. I do have an aquarium full of moderately + rare fish. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So here is the plan: you + keep the animals hungry. Dr. Walford's research found that systematic + underfeeding leads to longer lives in pets. And, he submits, it will do + the same for people. He calls it "intermittent fasting." You eat + every other day, or eat less every day. Another Walford phrase is <span + class=SpellE>undernutrition</span> without malnutrition. The author wisely + states that this is one reason that choosing nutritious foods and taking + vitamin supplements are essential, but his recommendations go far beyond + recreating equivalencies for the Five Food Groups. For example, Dr Walford + daily supplements his diet with 1,600 mg of Vitamin C (over 2000% of the RDA) + and a very substantial 600 IU of Vitamin E (over 3000 % of the RDA). With + modest understatement, he explains "We shall not get far unless we are + bold enough to part company with the Food and Drug Administration, the + nutrition moguls of the National Academy of Sciences, and many experts + occupying academic chaise lounges, because we must in some instances + considerably exceed a sacred quantity, the Recommended Daily Allowance + (RDA)."</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>This is an especially + keen declaration, since Walford is himself a member of the National Academy + of Sciences. I do like this man's style.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> + <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Furthermore, if normal + life expectancies are to be believed, my life is already more than half over. + This whole topic becomes ever more vital as our years click by. "The + 90-year-old man of the future will have the physical vigor of the 50-year-old + man of today," says Walford. He has my full attention now, for + most of us are generally going in the wrong direction: we systematically + over-eat. Obesity is an epidemic, and population-wide weight statistics + bear this out unmistakably. In the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place + w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region>, at least half of us are <span + class=SpellE>overfat</span>. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>But on the other hand, + hasn't modern medical science extended our lives? Well, yes and no. Our + average life expectancy has increased, but maximum life span has not. + There have always been a small number of people living to 110 or so, and it + is largely unchanged today. Honest documentation of old age has been + historically hard to come by. The confirmed leader in modern times appears to + be Fanny Thomas (no relation to Danny, a short-lived smoker). Fanny is + certified to have lived to be 113, attributing her longevity to the fact that + she ate applesauce three times a day and never married.</span><span + style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Interestingly, Walford + torpedoes a common myth: <span class=GramE>Its</span> probably not true that + women age more slowly than men, because there’s no difference in + maximum life span between the sexes. Where lifestyles are equal, men live as + long as women. So you can do what Fanny did. And maybe even if you are + a man and married, perhaps, and have only a moderate passion for applesauce.</span><span + style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Dr. Walford provides + dozens of references to back up his statements. <i>Maximum Life Span</i> + is appropriately illustrated, very well organized and indexed, and is + complete with food tables and the doctor's own recipes and diet plans. I also + like the map of downtown <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Washington</st1:City>, + <st1:State w:st="on">D.C.</st1:State></st1:place>, showing the locations of + no fewer than 64 food <span class=GramE>lobbyists</span> offices all within a + few blocks of the White House.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>But mostly I like Dr. + Walford's utterly unapologetic attitude that death is to be beaten back for a + good solid 120 years (<span class=SpellE><span class=GramE>thats</span></span> + about 40 years longer than most people expect to live, Dr. Jack Kevorkian + notwithstanding). I also like Dr. Walford's expressed appreciation for Nobel + prize winners Linus Pauling and Roger J. Williams, both of whom publicly + advocated vitamin supplementation for decades, and both of whom, perhaps not + so coincidentally, lived into their middle 90s. </span><span + style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I am pleased that Dr. + Walford openly proclaims that he takes megadoses of supplemental + nutrients. Every medical doctor making such an admission helps patients + the world over. But the real key to Dr. Walford's plan is what you don't do: + eat. Aye, there's the rub, for how many people would just as soon eat + now and die young than sacrifice the joys of pigging out for a mere 40 extra + years of existence?</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The idea that the + long-sought Fountain of Youth may consist simply of <span class=SpellE>undereating</span> + is pretty wild. But then, think of the money you'd save. Think of the years + you'd gain.
