key quote: " the metabolic outcomes
associated with elevated FGF21 depend on the nutritional
context, differing according to whether the
animal is in a state of under- or overfeeding."
The news article badly misinterprets the results in implying that low protein alone = high FGF21 = longevity.
can we get away from the idea that a single kind of diet is always best ? Sometimes one needs protein (e.g. after intense physical exercise), sometimes fat (in the winter maybe), sometimes carbs (long cycle ride), usually veggies. Eat as appropriate.
