I didn't say it was CR -- and I don't think the original request
said that CR was the goal. There are two different questions.
The first is what is an optimal diet for a "normal" lifespan? In that
case I go with the CDC believing that obesity is a major chunk
of the problem. If one can offset low blood sugar levels with
a drink with some sweetness, then one might be able to avoid food
cravings that may contribute to obesity. I will grant this may
also drive up protein glycosylation but Alteon may have a solution
for protein glycosylation. The second question is what to do if
one wants to "push-the-envelope", for example by using CR.
The reason I said "lots of ice" is that over time (as the ice melts)
the lemonade becomes more water than ice -- but retains some of the
lemonade flavor. (Perhaps I'm a little over the edge -- but we are
just finishing up a rather hot summer by Seattle standards.) I'm
aware of the aspartame problem -- but only to a limited extent (you
should feel free to provide links) -- my philosophy tends to be
"everything in moderation" to deal with that problem.
