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. :-)
