Many scientists believe that in mammals, there’s a tradeoff between growth and better health. Pugs, for example, are known to live longer than their larger counterpart in the dog world, the Great Dane. But a new study shows that when more energy is allocated to the creation of better cellular materials, longevity is enhanced.
