Cutting Calories “Boosts Memory”… hah

The geniuses at the BBC are reporting that a study found that cutting calories by 30% improves memory.  Article here.

Really?  When I did such things, I became so malnourished that I could hardly spell my own name.  I couldn’t find my way out of a lunch bag.

I wonder if this is more of a placeabo effect than anything that these folks in the study responded as they did.

I also love how there can be one teeny study on 50 elderly people and that teeny brush is widened to color that all of humanity’s memory can be helped by severe calorie restriction. 

Since, calorie restriction is such a hot topic right now, how come no one is researching the potential PROBLEMS with eating this way?  The media does like shocking headlines and all.  How shocking would, “Calorie Restriction Makes People Fatter and Unhealthy” be to the average joe?
