Calorie Restriction Leads to Longer Life but Less Grey Matter

Scientific evidence continues to mount in support of the hypothesis that reducing overall calorie intake, while still maintaining a balanced diet, leads to a significant increase in lifespan. Previous research—for macaques, in particular (which have an average lifespan of forty years)—had already demonstrated the beneficial effect on the incidence of age-related pathologies. However, the positive effect on the lifespan of primates has remained controversial. Now, a new study from The
