“Effective CR [caloric restriction] is also almost impossible to achieve in humans (Kraus et al., 2019). Laboratory animals undergoing CR are “convinced” that food is scarce. Perception of food scarcity seems crucial for CR to work, as worms given the impression of abundant food by the smell of yeast lost almost half of the life extension provided by CR (Libert et al., 2007). Even if they would be able to adhere to CR (which they are almost certainly not (Kraus et al., 2019)), humans would still know that food is abundant and therefore loose the beneficial effects regulated by psychology. Dieting is therefore a particularly unattractive and ineffective intervention to increase lifespan in humans.”
I will have to think about how to utilize this idea…
