So I've heard, but I was thinking of that scrawny bush whose name escapes
me. It's rumored to live for about 10,000 years under ideal conditions.
>It that just because of antioxidants?
I don't know. I've only heard that long lived plants have higher amounts of
antioxidants. I'm sure there are other factors, but make their antioxidants
levels more average and I bet they would not live as long.
Regardless, it would be nice to study such long lived organisms to see if
any of their strategies can be applied to humans. My goal, after all, is not
to argue ad nauseam on this list about aging, but to actually eradicate it.
