Dog CR Study -- Large QOL Gain (Quality of Life)

[Guest guest]

Hello CR ALL:

Dr. Al Pater yesterday was able to secure for me a PDF copy

of the pre-release article he found on 04 Aug 2003 (below).

It is about

*** Lifetime CR Study in Dogs

A 22% restriction in calories for the Labrador Retrievers

resulted in a 19% increase in disease-free lifespan.

That is close to a 1-for-1 QOL (quality of life) gain of

added disease-free living for each percent of calories reduced!

The PDF article was outstanding, and thank you so much for

making it available, Al (and Ding, who provided the article)!
