-How the largest body of evidence cited in favor of hormesis actually doesn’t support it at all 
-Why caloric restriction is NOT responsible for slowing aging and extending lifespan (and what is actually responsible) 
-The many factors that confound the calorie restriction research (including differences between organisms, poor research design, amino acid restriction, PUFA, endotoxin, and more)
