No seconds please.... This LA Times article is about a study on humans of the low-calorie diet (reduce by 25% your average intake). The gist is this: reduce calories -> reduce metabolism -> reduce free radicals -> reduce cancers and the like produced by tissue damage caused by the free radicals. One thing that I don't see mentioned though-if you have less metabolism, does that mean you do less? Where was the extra energy allocated to on a daily basis? In addition, I have read/heard of studies in rodents where long life tended to lead toward greater stupidity. I want to see the results on variables other than long life on this diet.
