I watched part of Aubrey de Gray on Joe Rogan yesterday. He said that fasting (which is caloric restriction if not identical to it) has a smaller effect on lifespan for animals of greater mass:
Roughly
- worm: 5x longer lifespan by fasting
- mouse: 50% longer
- dog: 10% longer
- human: 1-2% longer
I'd be interested to hear support or refutations of this. It seems like something that should be pretty well studied by now.
