Methionine restriction has been shown to increase mean and maximum lifespan in various organisms, particularly rodents. Studies show it can increase lifespan by 30-40% in rats and mice, with effect sizes similar to those of calorie restriction. The lower methionine content of plant-based diets should be seen as a plus rather than a minus, I think.
