Ben, the truth of the matter is one can only increase the life span of
mice if one restrict them during development. The equivalent would be to
restrict the quantity (not quality) of food in a human for their first ~
20 years of life. After the first 20 years it really does not  matter.
Maybe you know of an experiment where they only used so to speak adult
mice to start with. This my opinion.
