Some islands in the Aegean, Mormon Utah, French Canadians prior to about 1900. Common to see people live to 104 or 105 after having 9-17 children!

Count me in the pure food, veggies, low carbs, low oil intake (other than pure EV olive oil), and pure food without pollutants, non-GMO. A lot of diseases arose after about 1880 with the intro of processed oils, 1940s with trans fats, 1970s with 'new' forms of wheat, factory farms. Today's chickens are fattier and don't exercise any part of their 50 days alive. Free range organic grass fed chickens produce different eggs. There's less coagulation in the yolks. So we've done it to ourselves.
