optimisingnutrition shows that fatness levels have gone up over the past few decades, as have MUFAs, but this doesn't say much about *healthy* MUFAs from non-processed food.

fireinabottle is MUFA-skeptical, but it mostly talks about *weight* and *insulin resistance*, not aging in itself. It's possible to increase fat synthesis w/o increasing aging rate, and you'll notice if you're gaining weight well before you'll notice if aging rate increases
