    Ami, I agree wit you - I haven't seen any good, comprehensive study of centenarians. Though it looks like diet is only one contributing factor to their longevity, and others like genes, lifestyle and strong social connections might have even stronger contributors. Anyway, a good study of what centenarians are doing right is needed.

    Search about Swami Sivananda. He is 123 and still alive. He is a yogi. He has applied for Guinness world award. He says if you want to live very long, say no to sex, stress, milk, fruits, sweets, meat and oil. He only eats boiled veggies, rice, pulses and green chillies. Don't eat too much. And practice yoga 4 hours daily. That's how he did it. Even at the age of 123, he can still perform the toughest yoga poses. Truly a legend. He looks 60year old.

    In India a lot of the people in the last century didn't have birth certificates due to the system they lived in So unless that ol guru can produce an authenticated birth certificate it's just a guess that he's 123yrs old ( he's probably around 100 or just under/over that )

    I don't think diet is the operative principle in this matter of living long. Temperament is far more important than food. Stay interested in life and eat what you will.

    Fun video! All this confirms is that saturated fats are not that detrimental as always claimed; fried foods for Jeanne Calment, (raw) eggs and raw meat, bacon and eggs... All things claimed to be bad for you, which it obviously ISN'T.

    You wrong bro. All them eat a lot of meats, specially red meat. This is a diet of Jones: “Up 9:30. Breakfast, 10:30, scrambled eggs with bacon. May dieticians shove all the warnings since “she’ll eat bacon all day long.” Lunch, fruit. Dinner, 5:30, “she feeds herself” a set plate of meat, veggies, potatoes, but “eats the meat first.” Beef, pork and eggs.

    The lady who ate meat and eggs wasn't eating fruits and vegetables. But I guess it's bad form to allow reality to get in the way of your preferred narrative, so ignoring that fact is much more convenient.

    Basically it's luck. You can eat the best and not make it as far as someone eating candy with good genes.

    I think saying it's all about luck is a bit of oversimplification. It's the mix of many things - genes, lifestyle, living conditions, many other things and definitely luck :)
