[ A ] study, published in the Sept. 19 issue of Science, found that reducing dietary intake late in life reduced mortality in fruit flies.
"We found that within just 48 hours of being switched from a high nutrient intake to dietary restriction, flies were no more likely to die than those that had been under dietary restriction constantly throughout their adult life," says one of the study's authors, Linda Partridge, a professorial fellow in the department of biology at University College London.
