Show Orem-Geneva Times Wednesday, September 30, 1992 Page 8 W. RAY AND REVA CHRISTENSEN Eat less live longer Exercise, Vitamin C, fish oil, mineral water - there are all sorts of theories about what might make you live longer, but there is little proof. The only conclusive evidence of life extension is oflab mice fed a low calorie, but nutritionally adequate diet. This seems to extend life and reduce the risk of cancer. Although much has been said about the general increase in life expectancy, there is little evidence that the maximum life span of humans has changed, said Dr. Rick Weindruch, University Univer-sity of Wisconsin-Madison. Better Bet-ter nutrition and medical intervention inter-vention help the average person live longer though. In a guest lecture in the Utah State University Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, he said as early as 1935 researchers discovered that they could double the normal life span of lab mice by restricting their diets. The studies usually compare mice that are fed "ad lib" (as much lab chow as they want) compared to lab mice fed 40 - 60 percent of ad lib levels, Weindruch said. The key is that the diets must be reduced, but remain nutritionally adequate. We know it works for mice, but what is the mechanism and will it work for primates? There are so many cultural, diet and environmental variables with humans. For instance, Japanese men have a lower rate of prostrate cancer than United States men. However, when these Japanese-born men move to the U.S. they start to assume the same prostrate cancer levels of U.S. born men, he said. You might ask how does exercise exer-cise fit in? If you compare ad lib mice that have an exercise wheel with ad lib fed mice with no exercise, the exercising mice do live longer. However, the mice that live the longest are still the sedentary ones on the calorie restricted diet, Weindruch said. He says the trouble with trying to generalize these studies to primates is that 1) primates live much longer to begin with so the experiment takes longer because be-cause primates already have half the life span of the average researcher re-searcher 2) there is much more genetic variability in primates than in lab mice.

Hotel Frankenstein, Valley Center Playhouse's annual October Oc-tober show returns this Friday for it's eleventh year in production. This Halloween comedy includes all the old favorites: Dr. Frankenstein, Egor the monster, Count Dracula and his wife Natasha, Frankenstein monster, the Wolfman, and a crew of mortals. mor-tals. Each year many cast members mem-bers return, marking their 9th and 10th years of performing the same parts. When Dr. Frankenstein, played by Peter VanOrman, needs a live human brain for his monster, he lists his castle with a travel agency in hopes of getting lots of tourists from which to choose a suitable specimen for his brain transplant. But only the Woodknockers book reservations and the brain pickings in that family are pretty slim. The Woodknocker father is played by Mike Gray and the mother by Ar-lene Ar-lene McGeggor and their screaming scream-ing housekeeper is played by Madeline Watkins. Dr. Frankenstein makes his choice and the plot thickens from there, aided by a lost machine crystal, the bunglingover-worked Egor, played by Doug Dial, and the amateur detective played by Ben Ellis.
