They should have fed these monkeys Highly processed, sugary foods and fast foods. Foods containing pesticides, low fiber and containing preservatives, antibiotics and growth hormones(a typical poor American diet).
Then see which group loves longer.
This would have had far more value since it is truer to life at least for Westerners.
The less food you eat, the less wear on your organs right? the less toxins your body accumulates.
Why? That is of no scientific interest. Testing the specific phenomenon of caloric restriction - substantial lifespan increases from cuts in high quality diets - is of interest.
