This NY Times article entitled "Severe Diet Doesn’t Prolong Life, Study of Monkeys Concludes," reveals that the Severe Caloric Restriction Diet, touted by many scientists and researchers as one way to extend life, may not do so in a significant way. The study, begun in 1987 with rhesus monkeys, indicates that those on the strict diet and those on a regular diet died of the same conditions within similar time frames. There are other studies that do still indicate caloric restriction is a way to extend life. What do you think? Exactly how far are you willing to go with your diet to extend your life, depending on what more studies reveal?
