Does dietary sugar and fat influence longevity?

Archer VE.

Simultaneous consideration of the influence of the different types of

carbohydrates and fats in human diets on mortality rates (especially the

diseases of aging), and the probable retardation of such diseases by caloric

restriction (CR) leads to the hypothesis that restriction of foods with a

high glycemic index and saturated or hydrogenated fats would avoid or delay

many diseases of aging and might result in life extension. Many of the

health benefits of CR might thereby be available to humans without the side

effects or unacceptability of semi-starvation diets.
