Numerous subsequent studies have confirmed that a calorie restriction of 30 to 60 percent
of ad libitum intake increases the life span by similar amounts in a range of organisms including yeast, roundworms and rodents, while simultaneously decreasing or delaying the occurrence of age related diseases such as numerous cancers (including lymphomas, breast and prostate cancers), hypertension, stroke, diabetes, nephropathy, autoimmune disorders and other risks factors for cardiovascular disease (3,4).

of ad libitum, low - carbohydrate diets, experimental and control subjects consumed diets in which neither fat content nor protein content were held constant between groups (5 — 7).

of ad libitum dietary intervention studies
«Caloric restriction (60 %
of ad libitum intake) maintained only during the 2 - week experimental period did not affect collagen accumulation, but did result in decreased levels of the difunctional crosslink dihydroxylysinonor - leucine (DHLNL) in sponges implanted for 10 days.»
