Eat cheese, live longer

A recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine reported that eating cheese — specifically the aged kind containing the compound spermidine, as found in blue cheese — was linked to a longer life in mammals when tested on mice.

“The mice do not only live longer when we supplement spermidine to the drinking water, but they are also healthier in terms of cardiac function,” Frank Madeo, co-author of the study and a professor at the University of Graz in Austria, told Medical Daily.

Polyamines, such as spermidine, are polycationic aliphatic amines and are multifunctional. They serve vital roles in cell survival.

Spermidine synthase (SPDS) catalyzes the formation of spermidine from putrescine. Spermidine is a precursor to further polyamines, such as spermine and its structural isomer thermospermine.

Spermidine synchronizes an array of biological processes (such as Ca2+, Na+, K+ -ATPase) thus maintaining membrane potential and controlling intracellular pH and volume. Spermidine regulates biological processes, such as Ca2+ influx by glutamatergic N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDA receptor), which has been associated with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cGMP/PKG pathway activation and a decrease of Na+,K+-ATPase activity in cerebral cortex synaptosomes.

Spermidine is a longevity agent in mammals due to various mechanisms of action, which are just beginning to be understood. Autophagy is the main mechanism at the molecular level, but evidence has been found for other mechanisms, including inflammation reduction, lipid metabolism, and regulation of cell growth, proliferation and death.[2]

Spermidine has been tested and discovered to encourage hair shaft elongation and lengthen hair growth. Spermidine has also been found to “upregulate expression of the epithelial stem cell-associated keratins K15 and K19, and dose-dependently modulated K15 promoter activity in situ and the colony forming efficiency, proliferation and K15 expression of isolated human K15-GFP+ cells in vitro.”

Of course, it has to be the only cheese that is good for you

Ultra Sharp Canadian Cheddar Aged 7 Years. I also like Bleu and several of the Italian cheeses. Mmmmm! Glorious cheese.

Yeah! I have a condition which can’t handle certain raw veggies. So I drown my sorrows by OD-ing on the garnishes. Throw in some cheesy, garlicky croutons, too.

It’s an aliphatic polyamide first found in, where else, semen. Hence the name.

So how come Shepard Smith and his ilk have such short life expectancies?

I’m allergic to milk and cheese, but I still eat cheese. Super Sharp cheddar and Blue Cheese are my favorites.

I had the same thought.

There are other factors involved , shall we say.

>> “Why autocorrect knows polyamide and not polyamine, I don’t know” <<

All of these “helps” are trying to dumb us all down to the lowest level.

I once clicked on “Grammatic” in my word processor, and let it “correct” my letter.

Never again!

It came out looking like it was written by Goober from Mayberry.
