You read it here first. Maybe. Maybe not. It doesn’t matter, You’re reading it here now, even if here does simply refer readers to the journal Science, which reports on research conducted a the University of Wisconsin whose results suggest that, like rodents, yeast, and roundworms, primates (us) live longer if their diet contains fewer calories. Science reports that researchers have concluded that rhesus
monkeys that eat nearly a third less food than normal monkeys age more
slowly. The results come as close as any can to proving that calorie
restriction could significantly slow aging in humans–even if such a
lean diet would not appeal to most of us. Hold the mayo and read more in Science. Or get the story straight from the University of Wisconsin .
