Could someone please show me some articles that shows that calorie restriction increased longevity? I am not looking for some fasting aricles, but rather some articles that says that restricting calories will raise expect life expectancy. This guy I know claims that increased longevity from calorie restriction is not possible, and I want to prove him wrong.
It certainly works for worms, flies, and mice.
For humans, I'm not so sure. Not so long ago, I would have pointed to the excellent health markers of CRONies, but I'm just not so sure anymore. There was a long term primate experiment that failed to show significant life extension, but it was so flawed I'm not really sure what one can take from it. I guess all I can say is that robust life extension from CR in humans has not yet been demonstrated.
If the guy you know thinks that CR couldn't possibly work, period, well... he's clearly wrong. If he thinks that it won't work in humans, I don't think he can be proven wrong at this time. He might even be right.
