I asked a different AI, who seems to be a bit more sciencey and not so<br>
chatty. He even gives references for his statements.<br>
Though his reply seems to amount to much the same conclusions.<br>
Just a bit more techie-like language.<br>

Answer<br>
Caloric restriction has been shown to extend lifespan in laboratory<br>
animals such as rats, worms, and mice by reducing inflammation and<br>
slowing down the aging process in the cellular pathways [3]. However,<br>
the results of caloric restriction studies on humans are still<br>
unclear, and the specific mechanisms by which caloric restriction<br>
works are still under investigation [1]. Some studies suggest that<br>
moderate caloric restriction may be beneficial for human health, but<br>
more research is needed to determine the potential benefits and risks<br>
of caloric restriction for humans [2]. Additionally, the benefits of<br>
caloric restriction may depend on the specific type of food consumed,<br>
as lower calories from whole foods and such meant a longer healthier<br>
life compared to lower calories all from meat [0].<br>
Overall, while caloric restriction may hold promise for extending lifespan,<br>
more research is necessary to fully understand its potential benefits and<br>
risks for humans.<br>
