For those interested its worth going to the primary source. Fortunately its
freely available online as a Public Library of Science (PLoS) Biology article.
There's a decent synopsis as well: "All PLoS Biology research articles are
accompanied by a synopsis written by a professional science writer for a
general audience. It is our goal that the synopses will provide non-experts
with insight into the significance of the published work."

Synopsis:
(2005) For Long-Lived Flies, It s Calorie Quality, Not Quantity, That Matters.
PLoS Biol 3(7): e237
