I have Valter Longo's book, which as far as I know has not been published in the English language yet.
I'm going to post a few significant references on his longevity diet and FMD. He has done every manners of studies from the diet of populations with many centenaries to the factors which trigger mTOR and ISS. In the following pic he's portrayed together with a woman affected by Laron's syndrome in Ecuador. These people have a genetic lack of IGF-1, so they do not grow and remain dwarfs. However, lack of the IFG-1 signal makes them pretty immune to degenerative diseases and they live very long (although some commit suicide).
