This segment aired Dec 30, 2005. It appears to be one of the more
positively-spun stories, if the article is essentially a TS of the video, which (along with being prime time on a MAJOR news outlet) would explain a strong positive level of interest.

Interviews with CRON practitioiner Joseph Cordell, with brief snips from
WUSTL CR study investigators Fontana and Holloszy. A bit of nonsense
("And exercise? Not an option. C.R. dieters simply don't have the
calories for it" -- but even this is nicely counterbalanced, in one
sense, with "The calorie restriction protects them from the same
diseases that exercise protects against, and more potently actually than
exercise," Dr. Holloszy says."

Also nice:

-----
"Definitely his life expectancy is higher than an average American," Dr.
Luigi Fontana says.

Doctors like Fontana are conducting long-term studies of C.R. They're
convinced it protects against major diseases.

Dr. John Holloszy, principal investigator, agrees. "There's no chance of
them getting type 2 diabetes, they have very low blood pressure, and the
risk of them developing cancer is markedly decreased," Dr. Holloszy
says. ...

His doctors say Cordell's has the blood pressure of a child, the
cholesterol of a teenager, and his risk of heart disease is close to
zero. ...

It's not about a short term new year's resolution; it's about a complete
diet overhaul that Cordell will stay on for what he believes will be a
longer, healthier life.
