Although the CR part is not all that good in my opinion, looks like the editor never did a good job here because there was very little on human CRers, or the amazing health results. However I think the Rhesus Monkey CR part makes up for it...
Make sure you listen out for the statistics on the mortality of the rhesus monkeys :) Loooooking goood for CR!

I cannot believe researchers have to torture monkeys to know that we are a nation of over-eaters and gluttons. How cruel to keep these intelligent and athletic animals in tiny metal barren cages with no stimulation.
How long will it be before we evolve to a species that stops the suffering of other species? Mice on treadmills and depriving monkeys of their natural existence. A disgusting piece of fluff for 60 minutes.
The researchers are toturing these animals? I think they are well looked after and given good medical care. The monkeys in the Wisconsin study do not seem depressed according to the carers and are stimulated. Mice on treadmills? I don't think mice are hurt by going on treadmills.
This research is very important to understand disease and aging, and whether or not CR works in longer lived animals to see if it's likely to be applicable to humans on CR.
Calorie Restriction isn't simply about obesity avoidance either. CR's anti aging effect happens at a calorie intake that is much lower than just trying to maintain a normal weight. So the studies purpose is not to see what happens if you over feed and animals. It's to look at the anti aging effects of a CR diet.
Sorry you feel the way you do, but these monkeys are not harmed in these aging studies.
It is hard to hear that lot of animals is getting torture by some bad people. I wish that kind of rudeness is going to be ended. Animals is a very important part of our ecosystem.
