Restriction[edit]

The entire "restriction" section is sourced to primary sources based on fruit flies and mice. These are not reliable in regard to WP:MEDRS, WP:MEDANIMAL and WP:MEDDATE. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's possible, especially if we had a pair of high-quality sources saying this, that the article should have one or two sentences saying that methionine restriction has been researched by people interested in life extension, but "19 years ago, a primary source found an effect in mice" is almost never WP:DUE for any article (even for articles about rodents).
