My wife doesn't have any chronic health problems like a lot of her friends and
family; a lot of that may have to do with the fact that we don't use vegetable
oils extracted from seeds that are loaded with PUFAs and also that I make sure
that we stay away from artificial BS, like fat free and sugar free diet
garbage! We also take a ton of supplements.... anyway, she was watching what
I was writing to you and merely commented(jokingly) that caloric restriction
was not for her, so I added that bit in my email to you!
I think I spoke at great length with you a few years back about what I think
about God and specially about Religion! I am not a communist by any means and
I actually abhor the idea of classifying people as this or that, but I
understand that this is what we humans do, this is how we interact socially, we
have all these rituals and markings to show our tribal identity/allegiance...
animals do the same thing... certain ant colonies have specific pheromones that
identify them to members of that same colony... well, anyway, I too believe
that humans are no different than animals, I actually think that, in many ways,
we are inferior to animals because the very mental constructs that allows us to
thrive as a species has also given us the ability to cause a lot of mindless
destruction and violence... almost the same as cancer cells proliferating out
of control... and yet, if it wasn't for our ability to create weapons to kill
prey and compete with the better equipped natural predators in the jungle, I
doubt that you and I would even have a chance to have this conversation which
is the result of a whole lot of tool making ingenuity!
As to God and our divine nature, I suppose that we all want to base our lives
and our actions on some type of PERMANENT "something"! It does seems as if
there is this Life Force which the Taoist called "The Mother of all things"...
it seems to contradict Newton's thermodynamic postulate that all closed system
tend towards randomness(entropy)... but where is there a closed system in the
face of an infinite Universe? Living organism, and the intelligence and
organizing principle behind all matter and energy, is all I need as proof that
God exists and that I am one of its many impermanent manifestations!
As far as agape being some kind of human divine grace, I just don't know...
well, maybe something to aim for, once you've reached a certain age and are not
starving. Good luck with that one!

Does your wife have a bad diet but no health problems ? This is true of many
young people. They think they can eat and do anything with no effects. I was
the same way. But bad diet and unhealthy habits have a way of catching up to
you. But my wife is also the exception. She is healthier than I am. The best
animals to do longevity studies on are insects, who have a very short life of
days to weeks. Animals with the longest lifetimes are the hardest to do
longevity studies. Anybody who is promoting a supplement can say anything .
Coffee producers are now saying that drinking coffee can lead to long life.
When science gets to the point when they can predict how long an individual
will live, then we can do experiments to see if that time can be extended.
Humans are much more complex than animals. Human beings have an eternal spirit
which animals do not. This is why we human beings are capable of loving
everything in the universe - from the smallest mycobacteria and viruses to the
giant redwoods and even the moon and the stars. So human beings-contrary to
modern biological science- are not animals . We have the potential of a divine
nature that we received from our heavenly Father. If everyone could respect the
divine potential of themselves and others to become like God, then we could
move much closer to an ideal world. Communism denies this and they treat
everyone as if they were animals whose only value is their usefulness. They can
use them as organ donors or slaves . My best friend Rev Moon experienced the
death camps of North Korea for 3 years and survived. Mankind continues to
live in ignorance of our almost unlimited potential for love.
Best wishes to you and your family,

Humans have relatively long life span so it would be difficult to design an
experiment to prove that a substance would contribute to longevity. There are
also many variables that would be difficult to control in an interventional
study or to account for in epidemiological analysis! I suppose that you can
theorize health benefits in the diseases of old age from animal studies and
from the biochemistry involved in the removal of senescent cells by Fisetin and
other substances like NMN that help NAD+ production... there is also Apigenin
that has other beneficial effects in diseases of old age so people make the
assumption that it would also improve the life span! It's all speculation at
this time... the only proven intervention seems to be caloric restriction but
most people will not participate in such experiment! People have so much food
in the Modern World and they eat all the time, mostly poor quality food loaded
with empty calories, no wonder we have so many health problems! My wife just
said, she's the exception!

Thank you Domingo. I have analyzed a lot of different flavanols , but I have
never heard of this one. How does someone prove that a supplement will help
you live longer?
