The interesting question is whether resveratrol is a complete replacement
for CR or only a partial alternative.  My guess would be that CR + RES > RES
but CR + RES ~= CR but I might be wrong.

The question is whether the longevity promotion genomic program has
additional effects (biasing DNA repair strategies?) over that which would be
provided by a reduction in oxygen intake (CR).
