No question that the person who reviewed the study likely didn't know a
whole lot about basic biology, but the scientists found that respiration in
enchanced and not slowed, in the calorie restriced species studied. You
can't blame the scientists for the reporter' stupidity, but my point was
that there are people, like mercola, who come to conclusions that are not
backed by science. It is still not certain what the mechanism behind
calorie restriction is, and calling all fruit unhealthy is really nut job
material. It's amazing how often I see this sort of thing. These kinds of
people criticize others for not supplying references, and then they turn
around and do the same thing.

NAD and NADH+H+ is the same molecule, in two different oxidation
states. Not two nearly related molecules. Not understanding this, the
rest of the article is pure nonsense."
