INTRODUCTION.
This publication discusses the relationship between “food” and “lifespan” relative to cytogenetic observations of chromosomal DNA. Telomerase the enzyme associated with longevity is discussed.

COMMENTS.
”Telomerase” is an enzyme with EC# 2.7.7.49. This means “Telomerase” is capable of extending (TTAGGG)n repeats at the ends of the chromosomes. Cell cycling can then be maintained indefinitely. Nutrients necessary for this cell cycling are discussed in the publication.
