I dont have proof to the extent of you being able to see it, but a savannah which was raised mainly on an insect diet when compared to a cage mate that was eating mostly rodents proved it for me. The rodent eater, when getting older, had much mroe problems. It could be a one time thing but a herptilogist I was speaking with also told me the same thing.
I would also look back on what a wild savannah would be eating in the wild and it Ravi's famous Savannah Monitor book it shows its main diet consists of those giant crickets (forget the name) and it didnt show anything about small mamals. I know with my animals, I try and replicate there wild diet as best as possible. Of course its not practical to feed millipedes and giant crickets, but basically any insect diet would be great.
