    Fasting causes aging by energy depletion, vitamin B2 can stop it

    Well, if this title does not rile up the fasting crowd, I don't know what will:-) Aside from that controversy, it is actually a great study that not only suggests a dirt cheap and widely available option for retarding aging, but once again demonstrates that stress (e.g. fasting) directly causes...

    Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) Reduces Lipofuscin, May Extend Lifespan

    There are few reliable treatments of the so-called "age spots" officially known as lipofuscin.

    Riboflavin Therapy Can Reverse Myopia
