Calorie Restriction and Living Longer in the News

There have been a number of stories flooding popular media lately about recent results of a study on calorie restrictive diets.

This blog post nicely sums up why 99.9 percent of those stories have been misleading at best and wrong at worst.

In other words, rely on the media to give you some 10,000 foot view of information but if you want the real story you'll need to learn to think critically about the information you're being spoon fed.

Calorie restriction diets being championed as pseudo fountains youth are nothing new. But now there's a study that refutes the claims, and somehow the popular media still interprets it as being in favor of what the proponents claimed. Funny what happens when you dumb things down for mass consumption.

Anyway...check out the link...mull it over a bit. See what you think. Leave a comment here if you'd like.
