    Damn Interesting » Zen and the Art of Human Maintenance

    Quoted: There is a disease which causes the human body and mind to gradually deteriorate, causing its sufferers to experience discomfort, memory loss, failed health, disfigurement, and severe physical and mental handicaps. It is always fatal, and there is no known cure. The scientific term for this disease is Senescence, though it is more commonly known as aging or growing old.

    Resveratrol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Sorry mo...

    Quoted: The amounts used in the mouse study were approximately 22.4 mg/kg body weight per day. Scaling this amount to human body weights would imply an "equivalent human dose" of 1.5 to 2.0 grams/day. Compensating for the fact that humans have slower metabolic rates than mice would change the equivalent human dose to the range of 150 to 200 mg/day, but given that many red wines contain 3-4 milligrams of resveratrol per liter, a comparable intake would require roughly 50 bottles of wine per day.

    Cool find. I can hear the 17000Hz sample fairly easily, and nothing on 18000Hz., age is probably a big factor in that.
