Both in a study with rhesus monkeys{{pmid|22932268}} by the American National Institute on Aging, and in a study on ''Drosophila''{{pmid|16000018}}, it has been suggested that life extension depends not only on calorie restriction but also on the composition of the diet. | Both in a study with rhesus monkeys{{pmid|22932268}} by the American National Institute on Aging, and in a study on ''Drosophila''{{pmid|16000018}}, it has been suggested that life extension depends not only on calorie restriction but also on the composition of the diet. | ||

Various findings raise doubts about the notion that caloric restriction slows down the aging process, delays the age-related decline in physiological fitness, or extends the lifespan of organisms from different phylogenetic groups.{{pmid|24941891}} Positive effects of caloric restriction are not universal: | Various findings raise doubts about the notion that caloric restriction slows down the aging process, delays the age-related decline in physiological fitness, or extends the lifespan of organisms from different phylogenetic groups.{{pmid|24941891}} Positive effects of caloric restriction are not universal: | ||
