Interesting article...not exactly sure how you would eliminate Isoleucine without excluding other amino acids tho...
Also as that is an essential amino acid, what effect would that have on protein synthesis?
Too soon to look into for humans but scientists believe this will translate well and are expected to start studies to see if it holds.
At the same time, Lamming cautions not everyone can switch to a low-isoleucine diet. “Isoleucine is an essential amino acid in our diet — we need it to live.”
“However, many people may be eating a harmful amount. We previously showed that dietary isoleucine consumption is associated with body mass index — and thus obesity — in humans, while other groups have found that blood levels of isoleucine are associated with insulin resistance and mortality risk.”
Meanwhile, he notes that it may be challenging for people to reduce their isoleucine intake as it is prevalent in various foods. He suggests: “It could be that by choosing healthier foods and eating in general, we might be able to lower isoleucine enough to make a difference.”

Scientists suggest restricting “essential” amino acid may be key to extending lifespan
29 Nov 2023 --- Researchers suggest that reducing the intake of the amino acid isoleucine extends the lifespan of mice, making them leaner and less frail as they age and reducing cancer and prostate problems. They are optimistic that these results can be translated to humans, but further...
