From the article: "Somehow the cells know the body can reset itself, and they still know which genes should be on when they were young," Sinclair said. "We think we're tapping into an ancient regeneration system that some animals use -- when you cut the limb off a salamander, it regrows the limb. The tail of a fish will grow back; a finger of a mouse will grow back." Note, the lead investigator is David Sinclair who is a jew. I will allow it. Given the sugar conversation earlier, Dr. Sinclair keeps on making the following points in all of his intervies: * He advocates for a calorie restricted diet (fasting) because eating all the time is a signalling mechanism to the body that we are growing and it ramps up those growth processes. Fasting signals to the body that we should be conserving and it kicks in other processes that help us repair damaged components. * He advocates removing sugars and starches from the diet. * He also advocates removing / reducing consumption of protein as well. He is recommending a plant based diet (no starches) because proteins also induce signaling in receptors that tell our bodies that we are growing as per above. Interesting to see the full spectrum of things to consider.
