New York Times featured an article on Valter Longo and his research on diet and fasting for longevity. “I want to live to 120, 130. It really makes you paranoid now because everybody’s like, ‘Yeah, of course you got at least to get to 100,’” he said. “You don’t realize how hard it is to get to 100.”
CNBC interviewed John Walsh about President Biden’s age. Walsh said that the “occasional gaffe” doesn’t signal a competence issue but rather a natural age-related slowdown in reaction time. “Given more time, they perform at the same level as their younger counterparts,” Walsh said. KNBC-TV also ran the story.
Neurology Today covered research from Pinchas Cohen that tied a rare mutation to a greatly reduced risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.
Newsweek and The Telegraph asked Valter Longo to explain the nuts and bolts of the fasting-mimicking diet, which Longo’s research has shown can shave a few years off of biological age.
New York Times quoted Henry Jay Forman, professor emeritus at USC Leonard Davis, on the potential health benefits of hydrogen-infused water.
Fortune quoted Valter Longo on a recent study showing that a fasting-mimicking diet can lower biological age by up to 2.5 years. “[The fasting-mimicking diet] is making the system younger, and by making it younger, making it more functional,” he said. “It’s really repairing the problem from the source, rather than just putting a Band-Aid downstream of it.”
USC Annenberg Media spoke to Cary Kreutzer about how Wendy’s proposed surge pricing would affect people who rely on fast food as a source of nutrition.
