there is proof he had ALS, thats what he died of.

weather or not he got it from being inside BIO2 is still unknown.

[hmf2970]

There is no solid proof that he got the Lou Gehrig's Disease, if anyone is susggesting this, because he lived in Biosphere II. In fact the cause of this disease is not 100% clear to anyone yet.

a very very important think, is to exercice your body every day, I believe is not only about diet, exercice your body 30 min each day is a very very very important factor in health and longevity..

[gespilk]

I wonder who continues his research?

Such a pity he tryed so hard and yet failed.

@mexman48 Walford died of AML (better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), a form of Muscular Dystrophy. He contracted it when he lived in Biosphere II during the mid-1980's. Other people contracted it too. I have viewed several of his videos and read two of his books. While I totally agree with you on living life each day to the fullest, some of us contract diseases even while living like that. I have had cancer and diabetes that is more genetically related than anything I could do health wise.

What a moron this doctor was. I knew all along (even before he died) that sugar is good for you. Salt is good for you too. This calorie restriction diet is a load of crap and the proof is that this moron is dead. I don´t think this asshole is in heaven now: mocking the deadly sins. What a pointless life of this moron. We should strive not to live a very long life. Instead we should live each and every day in the fullest, healthiest possible way. all things come added. Included a long life

@advancedatheist CR does work in humans. One only has to look at older Okinawans. They have the highest number of centurains per 100k population then anywhere on the planet. The numbers get even more disproprtionate when you drop to 90 year olds. Younger okinawans eathing american diets are dieing at the same rate as us.

@advancedatheist Mice live in a more dormant environment (less active) which has been proven to shorten life span.

LOL! The bald actor at 5:14 looks like Dr. Roy Walford. Was this some sort of joke?
