I tried verymuch to see the heart rate and the resultant life span of storm petrels , without success. I wanted to see if the storm petrel beat this logic at all. Hi Vince

There is a correlation between the size and the heart rate and the total heart beats and the life span of animals.

I tried verymuch to see the heart rate and the resultant life span of storm petrels , without success.

I wanted to see if the storm petrel beat this logic at all.

Thanks for pointing it out. On the one hand, the estrogenic effect of genistein is reputed to be relatively weak, It is unclear whether this effect would enhance longevity in males via the pathway described above that normally works in women. Perhaps there might be some effect if someone consumed very large quantities of soy as is normal in some Asian countries. On the other hand soy isoflavones including genistein may ofer protection against cancers. Finally, genistein may have serious side effects. See http://www.sp.edu.sg/schools/cls/bioline_06.htm. On the whole I think it is fine to consume some soy products but I personally would hesitate to take concentrated soy isoflavones as a supplement Very interesting suggestions, prophet’s.
