Abstract:
1. A method for reducing in certain cells of a human the radiocarbon content of at least one component selected from the group consisting of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), histone proteins and chromatin, comprising the formulation of a mixed-level-radiocarbon food or nutritional supplement, wherein said mixed-level-radiocarbon food or nutritional supplement comprises a mixture formulated by adding together and whereby ingests an effective amount of at least one said mixed-level-radiocarbon food or nutritional supplement so as to form in vivo in said human at least one of said DNA, histone proteins or chromatin comprising a reduced concentration of radiocarbon compared to the natural abundance concentration of radiocarbon; and wherein said low radiocarbon component (I) exhibits a level of carbon-14 that is at least 50% lower to 100% lower than the natural abundance concentration of carbon-14; and wherein said at least one natural background radiocarbon component (II) exhibits a level of carbon-14 that is at about the natural abundance concentration of carbon-14; and wherein said mixed-level radiocarbon food or nutritional supplement exhibits an overall level of carbon-14 for the group consisting of all members of DNA precursor compounds (A) and histone precursor compounds (B) that is at least 50% lower to 100% lower than the natural abundance concentration of carbon-14.
