What I was talking about has nothing to do with carcinogens, pesticides, etc. I was referring to the release of polyphenols similar to Resveratrol found in red wine due to an increased metabolic rate when fewer calories are consumed. The result of this is a deaccelerated rate of mitosis, thus slower aging.
