Bad news for the CR people.
Although a long-term study is still needed to determine if reducing T3 levels through calorie restriction does indeed slow the aging process, Weiss says cutting back on calories is a good idea.
"There is plenty of evidence the calorie restriction can reduce your risks for many common diseases including cancer, diabetes and heart disease," Weiss said. "And you may live to be substantially older."

Uh, where in that article justifies the title of it or this thread? I've thought that this idea of lowering T3 to increase longevity was completely idiotic since I first heard it, but the article and RR study don't indicate a finding that would negate the CR assumptions in humans.
