Calorie Intake Linked To Cell Lifespan, Cancer Development

Exercise for weight loss/control is an idiot's game. (see here, here and here)

"Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered that restricting consumption of glucose, the most common dietary sugar, can extend the life of healthy human-lung cells and speed the death of precancerous human-lung cells, reducing cancer's spread and growth rate.

The research has wide-ranging potential in age-related science, including ways in which calorie-intake restriction can benefit longevity and help prevent diseases like cancer that have been linked to aging, said principal investigator Trygve Tollefsbol, Ph.D., D.O., a professor in the Department of Biology.

'These results further verify the potential health benefits of controlling calorie intake.' Tollefsbol said. 'Our research indicates that calorie reduction extends the lifespan of healthy human cells and aids the body's natural ability to kill off cancer-forming cells.'"

It is all about Calories in when it comes to efficiently and effectively controlling weight.
