Semi-starvation has been thought to be life-prolonging in animals and perhaps even in humans. But a new experiment in monkeys casts a lot of doubt on that hypothesis:
New York Times: Severe Diet Doesn’t Prolong Life, at Least in Monkeys
In a way this is disappointing, in a way it’s good news. Who would want to be hungry forever?
Maybe there is a smarter way to actually prolong life though. Eating enough to feel great, but reducing carbs and insulin. Eventually we’ll see if the Rosedale-fans out there get really old, or not.
What do you think?
