The Claim
Caloric restriction increases lifespan in mice, and among mice under caloric restriction, those consuming lard as the primary dietary fat exhibit the greatest longevity compared to other fat sources.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Mice that eat fewer calories live longer, and among those on a low-calorie diet, the ones eating mostly lard seem to live the longest.

Caloric restriction extends lifespan in mice, and among calorie-restricted mice, those consuming lard as the primary dietary fat source exhibit the greatest longevity.
What the research says
3 studiesStudy: The Influence of Dietary Fat Source on Life Span in Calorie Restricted Mice.
The study found that mice on a low-calorie diet lived longer, and those eating lard lived even longer than mice eating other fats like fish or soybean oil. This matches the claim.
