- A new mouse study found that reducing Methionine intake may extend healthy lifespan and sharply lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
- Methionine is an amino acid commonly found in animal products, making diet a likely mechanism behind the effects seen in the research.
- The findings add to longevity and metabolic-health research, but the report describes evidence from mice rather than humans.
