Biotech Values

[rfj1862]

OT: I remember a presentation Leonard Guarente gave at Columbia about 6 or 7 years ago discussing the link between caloric restriction and longevity. I distinctly remember him saying something along the lines of "although it is clear that caloric restriction extends the lives of all animals studied so far, it also kills your sex drive."

Doesn't seem worth it to me. Aside from sacrificing bacon cheeseburgers.

Edit: I just found this in Psychology Today:

The psychological calming that's largely a result of the hormonal changes -- markedly less testosterone -- and some of the neurochemistry changes that occur as a result of CR are really why I'm in it at the moment....I don't miss my libido one bit.
