The feeling of hunger itself may protect against Alzheimer's disease, according to study published today in the journal PLOS ONE.

Note: One of the first scientifically rigorous demonstrations of the benefits of hormesis was a 1934 study of calorie restriction (often abbreviated “CR”) in laboratory rats, conducted by Mary Crowell and Clive McCay at Cornell. (See 'Getting Stronger')
