That fits with one of the leading theories about why CR works in the first place: starving the body puts it under mild, constant stress, priming it to resist the more severe stresses that make cells age--a sort of self-vaccination against decline. "With resveratrol," says Sinclair, "we're tricking the body into thinking it's not getting enough calories." If he can create a form of resveratrol that's easily absorbed by human cells and can demonstrate that it works without dangerous side effects, Sinclair may eventually come up with what amounts to an antiaging pill...

These are people who have memory problems (slips of the tongue, brief memory lapses) but can still balance a checkbook or prepare a meal. The drug they were given, Pfizer's Aricept, is widely prescribed for patients who already have Alzheimer's. In a trial conducted by researchers at the Mayo Clinic, nearly 800 patients were randomly assigned Aricept, a placebo or vitamin E for three years. In checkups after...
