Why does CR work ?

Jeff,
I am quite interested in the topic of calorie restriction.
Is the entire premise of effectiveness associated with longevity related to a slowing of the metabolism and less work/toxic burden for the body?
Any idea what role mucus plays in general health (it seems I tolerate very little mucus forming food today)? I ask this because what I have noticed it the less calorie dense foods form little mucus (green and yellow vegs and juicy fruits).
Diets recommened by Fuhrman and here seem to have that in common - want you to limit the starch and fill on salad, vegs, and some fruit. I know there are some differences - Fuhrman tends to recommed more fat in some cases and more fruit in general - but both seem to have some common points (eat a lotta low calorie density vegetation is amongst my favorites)....
Thx in advance - Russ.
