There were studies a while back that showed antioxidants in the diet could
prevent some of the problems of senescence, aging. This is different than
the lengthening-lifespan issue. (I agree with others that changing the
diet alone is unlikely to add significantly much to lifespan, but if diet
can improve the quality of aging, that is something.)
