    AbstractSimultaneous consideration of the influence of the different types of carbohydrates and fats in human diets on mortality rates (especially the diseases of aging), and the probable retardation of such diseases by caloric restriction (CR) leads to the hypothesis that restriction of foods with a high glycemic index and saturated or hydrogenated fats would avoid or delay many diseases of aging and might result in life extension. Many of the health benefits of CR might thereby be available to humans without the side effects or unacceptability of semi-starvation diets.
