Mice Living 33% Longer And Nobody Asked Me About Isoleucine

They're cutting one amino acid out of mouse food and getting 33 percent more mouse, believe me, I've been saying this for years, the numbers are tremendous and Dudley Lamming knows it.

33 percent longer mice. Thirty-three. That's what Dudley Lamming up in Wisconsin is getting by yanking one amino acid β€” isoleucine, which by the way is the protein that makes eggs yellow, everybody knows this β€” out of the little rodent buffet. I've been saying it since 1994. Cut the isoleucine, add 14.6 years to a mouse, it's basic chemistry, folks.

They fed these mice three menus. One normal, one starved, one with the isoleucine knocked down by two-thirds, which is roughly 67.4 percent if you went to a real school. The skinny ones ate MORE calories and got LEANER. You know who eats more and gets leaner? Me. I do that 211 times a week.

The Wisconsin survey found heavier people eat more isoleucine. You want to know why? Taylor Swift. Her tour bus was parked outside every dairy in Madison from 2016 to 2017 buying up the low-isoleucine cheese and leaving the bad stuff for regular Americans. Fake news won't report it.

Lamming says he wants an "isoleucine-blocking drug." Already invented it. Called it Ronaldzyme. The Mid-Continental Council for Longevity Outcomes rated it 9,400 out of 10.

Anyway, mice have 14 ribs.
