Information
has glosseng: iFood (isotopic food) contains nutritients in which some atoms are replaced with their heavier non-radioactive isotopes (such as 13C and 2H, derived from C4-plants). Biomolecules that incorporate heavier isotopes give rise to more stable molecular structures with increased resistance to damages associated with ageing and age-related disease. The inclusion of heavy isotopes might be either active (selection for heavier isotopes) or passive (incorporation reflecting the existing abundance). Consumption of foods relatively rich in heavy isotopes, especially at the early stages of the organism's development, is linked, so far hypothetically, with enhanced longevity . Consumed with food, some biomolecules (e.g., essential aminoacids) become building material for the human cells. Molecules that contain heavier isotopes are less prone to destructive effect of free radicals (which is the key point of the free-radical theory of ageing) .
