Calorie Restriction Increases Life Span In Rodents
Mouse studies on calorie restriction go back as far as 1935 and monkey studies began in the late 1980’s. The results are clear on one thing: caloric restriction does increase lifespan in rodents and other lower species (yeast, worms and flies). Studies suggest the life of the laboratory rat is 25% longer with CR (even longer with aggressive CR). Primate studies are still underway and humans have been experimenting with it for some time. In humans and primates, biomarkers of aging show signs of slower aging with CR. This makes many people FOR CR talk about it as if it were a sure-thing, already proven through double-blind randomized clinical human trials.
