OVEREATING AND
Overeating early in life ccr
tainly can lead to obesity that may
be irreversible And some
evidence has suggested that
overeating early In life may
predispose a person to cancer
But now two researchers—M H
Ross and G Bras of Philadelphia
and Utrecht Netherlands—have
reported that overeating also
shortens life-span
ACCORDING to their report in
the eminent journal. Science, Ross
explained “Obviously there are
all sorts of ways to shorten life
span But diet is apparently the
only way we know of to date that
will increase the length of life of a
warm-blooded animal I think that
what we have done here is confirm
the fact that under natural con
ditions there is a relationship be
tween dietary habits and life-span,
whereas in previous work the
study was always on animals un
der some kind of stress "
Ross and Bras allowed 121 rats
to select their own diets after the
first 21 days of life and to follow
these diets until they died The
rats, in the manner of people,
chose widely varying amounts and
kinds of foods
There was a dramatic cor
relation between how much the

farm buildings quickly
and inexpensively

YOUR LIFE-SPAN
rats ate and how long they lived
The average life of a rat is #3O
days The rats in the Ross-Bras
study lived anywhere from 317
days to 1 026 days
“IT’S WHAT you cal during the
early phase of life that counts ’
Ross says "An ample diet and a
nonexcessivc rale of increased
body weight is apparently con
ducive to a long life “
Researchers Ross and Bras
have not extrapolated their data
beyond that but it is expected that
their research will continue to
give us more information
Since they submitted the
Science paper for publication,
they have found that they can
predict, on the basis of what rats
eat and how fast they grow, how
long they will live "We are now
trying to see whether imposing a
change on such animals truly in
creases their life-span ” Ross
says
MY RECOMMENDATION to
readers of this column, as always,
is that one should eat a well-babn
ced diet, chosen from a wide
variety of foods from the four food
groups (the milk and meat groups,
vegetables and fruit, breads and
cereals)—but never more food
than you need to maintain ideal
weight
