This May 28, 2009, photo provided by the University of Wisconsin at Madison via the journal Science shows Rhesus monkeys Canto, 27, left, who is on a restricted diet, and Owen, 29, right, who is on an unrestricted diet, at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The two are among the oldest surviving subjects in a pioneering study of the links between diet and aging in Rhesus macaque monkeys. The 20-year study found cutting calories by almost a third slowed the aging of monkeys, and fended off death, and shows the first evidence that it delays the diseases of aging in primates too, researchers from the University of Wisconsin report in the Friday, July 10, 2009, issue of the journal Science.

The monkey on the right has some serious tumor issue goin' on

^ hahaha! agreed.
does this mean we should all start counting calories? rofl.

So how does this relate to humans? Look at the number of obese people out there, and our life expectancy is expected to keep rising?

^actually for the first time in decades, life expectancy is projected to decline in coming years in the US because of unhealthy diet and lifestyle
(i wrote a paper on this :])
