Longevity, calorie restriction, and Lithocholic acid

[John Clark]

In Wednesday's issue of the journal Nature researchers say they have found the chemical that causes calorie restricted diets to slow the aging process in worms, insects, mice and perhaps people. It's called "Lithocholic acid". It would sure be nice if you could just take a pill instead of living just a smidgen above the starvation level. 

lithocholic acid alone can produce the effects of calorie restriction in mice.
