Nothing is going to stop such a person, except his likely premature death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Because they don't. "all the vitamins that we know" is not the same as "all the nutrients that we need"; especially, it does not include "all the nutrients that we don't know about". -- Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to Saul's comment, when you cite 'empty calories', you cite foods like white sugar, white flour, icecreams, sodas and so on, which are not known for their anti-aging effects, even if eaten in a caloric restriction fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
