Original Message
A 20-year study of monkeys shows that a reduced-calorie diet paid off in less disease and longer life, a finding that might eventually be applied to humans.
Half the rhesus macaque monkeys studied were allowed to eat as they pleased, while the other half ate a carefully controlled diet that provided just two-thirds calories they would normally choose to eat.
The dieters were three times less likely to die from age-related diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes over the study period than monkeys that ate as they liked.
