Duly noted Les, thanks for the context - Pollan makes is sound like many studies have been done and cites 2 human studies,and one animal; saying that calorie restriction slows cell division, stifles the production of free radicals, curbs inflammation, and reduces the risk of most "Western diseases" - obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. I'll look into the sources a bit more and see if the two studies with human titles are actually not the result of human research!

That's the thing, right? I'm not an extremist at all, Calorie restriction in North America seems to equal eating more like the way the rest of the humans on Earth do, not less.
