I know. It's a real problem with this kind of research. For example, it took a long time before we got the results of the caloric restriction study on primates.

For example, it took a long time before we got the results of the caloric restriction study on primates.

As far as I knew, the recent studies weren't even the final results, they were just interim reports about the primates which had died up to that point and hobbled by the small sample size that implies.
