X-Message-Number: 24044 From: Date: Tue, 4 May 2004 14:59:55 EDT Subject: Roy Walford Someone has asked how long Dr. Walford was on a restricted diet. The New York Times obituary today says Dr. Walford spent the last 30 years on his own diet of 1600 cal/day, was 5'9" and weighed 130#. It credits his extensive mammalian research with establishing caloric restriction as a valid way to extend life. It mentions that he died of ALS but has no comment about cause or lack thereof.
