Offbeat: Fewer calories means longer life, fewer Frappuccinos
- They tested it on primates. Seriously. Admit it, you like eating. And not just anything. Absolute garbage. Drinks with more calories than many meals. Burgers loaded with layer upon layer of meat, cheese, secret sauce … you get the idea. Well, if you want to live longer, maybe you shouldn’t. According to a study that involved cutting calories of monkeys, they found just 13% of monkeys who had their calorie intake limited died during the 20-year testing period, versus 37% of monkeys who chose to gorge as much as they wanted. So, next time … get the small Frappuccino, and thank us later. source
