I can't find where you get your 15%.
I only get this from the given link:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080703120402.htm
"Mice on a high-calorie diet without resveratrol lived the shortest
length of time and mice on an every-other-day regimen lived the
longest, regardless of resveratrol treatment."
I can't find either the name of the strain.
If anyone has access to the data of the different groups, I would be
interested

PS to rs1000: just curious, when you wrote "So they published it
afterall....
did you mean that the authors were possibly a bit reluctant to publish
these results (because the resveratrol life extending effect was not
seen in normal diet and CR diet animals)?
