CRONie, you're a tease. This paper tells us nothing at all about whether CR is effective in horses (ie, retards biological aging, as demonstrated by
increased species maaximum lifespan, reduced age-related pathology, and reduced age-related molecular damage), but just that they lose weight in response to reduced energy intake -- ie, that they neither
photosynthesize nor are immune to the laws of thermodynamics.
