This organ protection was superior to what the researchers have seen with calorie restriction, suggesting that just cutting protein is even better — or that doing both at once might be best of all.

Other researchers have previously demonstrated that cutting protein may be at least as important as cutting calories (SN: 4/5/14, p. 6).

The latest salvo in Macro-Nutrient Land is the Calorie Restriction Diet, inspired by animal experiments in which mice, guppies, water fleas, yeast, spiders, Labrador retrievers, a microscopic water invertebrate called the rotifer, and rhesus monkeys are said to live longer on diets that restrict caloric intake.13 Researchers are encouraged by the longevity of a single monkey who has reached 38 years on a diet in which the portion of monkey chow — dried compressed pellets of wheat, corn, soybean, alfalfa, fish and brewer's yeast — has been cut by 30 percent compared to controls.

With rudimentary laboratories, one could argue that more was accomplished with regards to the effect of diet on cancer in the former half of the century, as revolutionary researchers like Tannenbaum, Rous, and their colleagues provided us with dozens of animal studies linking diet and cancer by exposing mice to free radical - laden vegetable oils.32, 33 Several decades later, two other researchers, Dayton and Pearce, provided one of the few studies revealing what happens when we give humans vegetable oils and their accompanying free radicals when they randomized men to a corn oil solution and a similar rise in cancer followed.34 It is no surprise that corn oil is often used in animal studies to cause cancer, as the ingestion of damaging free radicals predictably hastens cancer development.35 Furthermore, these scientists were the first to show that fasting, restricting calories, and cutting carbohydrates could lower the chance of cancer in animals exposed to dangerous chemicals and carcinogens.

If you are interested in exploring using diet to extend your lifespan, then Dr. Rosedale's diet, which is even more carb - restrictive, has been shown to mimic the biological effects of calorie restriction — which most notably includes an extended life span, as revealed by researchers such as Cynthia Kenyon — without actually cutting calories per se.
