CALERIE reports two-year results in humans

The only randomised controlled trial of sustained caloric restriction in healthy non-obese adults reports its two-year outcomes: the intervention is feasible but achieved restriction falls well short of the twenty-five percent target, cardiometabolic risk markers improve, and bone density and lean mass decline. No lifespan inference is possible or claimed.

Historical — it happened, and the record is settled.
