i wont know for about 60 years, patrick. {8^D these kinds of studies
are inherently difficult with humans. we live so long, the researchers
who set up the studies tend to die before the results come in. i knew
a dog breeder, in the business for over 40 yrs, who swore cr helped
his dogs live waaay longer. he claimed a third again longer than
well fed dogs. spike

After being on CR with inadequate nutrition for about 6 years during
high-school, I look 3 years younger than I am, but had headaches,
depression, and was not sexually active, so there were trade-offs.
NOW, I am on cyclical calorie-restriction with DARN NEAR OPTIMAL
nutrition and I feel ABSOLUTELY FREAKING FANTASTIC!
I love my diet,
I really do.
I love my diet
and it loves me too. :-)
