Supplement and Aging study

SUBJ: Starting longevity study with you please

SUBtitle: Please consider sharing your situation

Dear Readers,

I have long asked the GRG manager to do a study to determine what supplement and activity factors might contribute to longer healthspan.  My personal answers are revealed at my website.  But I would like to do a study based on people who read my newsletter.  I have stated that I read years ago, that people who read about nutrition weekly, will live much longer than those who ignore new information. So this is an effort to find out.

If you are willing to participate, be assured that all the information you provide will be absolutely confidential.  Each participant will be assigned a number so they can look at the results of the study.  First, below, I have a number of personal questions about your activities.  A guesstimate is just fine.  Then, once a year, I will send you an email just to check on how you are doing.  If enough people participate, I might gather sufficient data to make some information-based hypotheses. Here is the questionnaire:
