No question that the person who reviewed the study likely didn't know a whole lot about basic biology, but the scientists found that respiration in enchanced and not slowed, in the calorie restriced species studied. You can't blame the scientists for the reporter' stupidity, but my point was that there are people, like mercola, who come to conclusions that are not backed by science. It is still not certain what the mechanism behind calorie restriction is, and calling all fruit unhealthy is really nut job material. It's amazing how often I see this sort of thing. These kinds of people criticize others for not supplying references, and then they turn around and do the same thing.

This latest study probes how Sir2 is activated by calorie restriction. The authors report that a coenzyme related to NAD, called NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) inhibits Sir2 by blocking the action of NAD. During calorie restriction, levels of NADH decline in cells. This decrease in NADH
NAD and NADH+H+ is the same molecule, in two different oxidation states. Not two nearly related molecules. Not understanding this, the rest of the article is pure nonsense."

Why?
I see it in every one of your posts. 🙁
