Guest guest Posted January 10, 2000 Report Share Posted January 10, 2000 Well I set out to show that you can't live past 120 years, but I found some evidence you can.<br> In 1965,Dr.Leonard Hayflick reported that cultured human cells would divide only about 50 times limiting life expectancy to about 110 to 120 years. He postulated that there is a genetic clock in cells which limits there number of divisions. For several years, it was thought that this was an ultimate limit for cell division, and that life span correlated with cell-doubling capacity. However it has been found that the original cells used by Hayflick and others in cell division experiments inadvertently came from a family with high incidence of diabetes; it is now known that cells derived from diabetics seem to have a more limited life span than cells from normal individuals. We all know that diabetes is nutrition related, and I suspect, when it becomes genetic, this genetic damage is caused by generations of cooked food adiction.<br><br> " Body temperature; the higher the species' normal natural body temperature, the greater in general the life span. (A lower individual body temperature as compared to the species average seems to increase that individuals life expectancy.)
