Researchers have found that they can increase the life span of laboratory animals by underfeeding them and thus delaying maturation. This phenomenon, they believe, occurs because a smaller intake of food results in the formation of fewer cross linkages???connecting rods that link together and partly immobilize the long protein and nucleic acid molecules essential to life. If scientists can retard cross linking in man, they may well slow his aging process. Scientists also hope that they can some day do away with disease, genetically breeding out hereditary defects while breeding in new immunities to bacterial and other externally caused...
