"Another misconception repeated in mainstream media coverage was that the calorie restricted monkeys were eating 30% fewer calories than normal. Again, few people read carefully or went to the study methodology to understand that the monkeys were really eating about 30% less than the control monkeys. In actuality, the control animals were overfed 20% more than their usual diet, while the CR monkeys’ diets were adjusted to keep them about 30% less than the control monkeys."

An excerpt from an article in The New York Times quoted in the above article:

"If caloric restriction can delay aging, then there should have been significantly fewer deaths in the dieting group of monkeys than in the normally fed comparison group. But this is not the case. Though a smaller number of dieting monkeys have died, the difference is not statistically significant, the Wisconsin team reports."

“We do not interpret Darwinius as anthropoid*, but the adapoid primates it represents deserve more careful comparison with higher primates than they have received in the past.”

I'm 51. I couldn't hear it the first time. The second time I turned up the volume full blast and I could hear it. The third time I turned the volume down a bit. I can't say I actually heard anything, but yet it hurt my ears and left them ringing!
