[quote=Anonymous]I couldn’t access the article (have reached my limit of free Washington post articles) but if the study is like the one that came out a few years ago, the mice in the sample were fed strictly processed food.  Sure - that’s terrible but I think most people eat a mix of processed and unprocessed.  It also depends on exercise and how much food you burn versus store.  Genetics play a huge role too.   Imo, it’s not any one thing - just try your best to eat a wide variety of foods and exercise (or at least walk) as much as possible.

My Dad basically lives in bread and cheese and maybe one piece of fruit a day.  I try to get him to eat more veggies but he won’t.  He’s 83 though, mentally fit (retired professor still publishing papers), and plays tennis 3-4x a week.  So I guess it works for him!   His parents lived to their mid-90s and barely ate.  There have been some studies showing that restricting calories can be healthy so maybe their longevity can be attributed to that.

I also think people are different.  I’m in great health so will just continue eating as I do: mix of processed/unprocessed, alcohol, evening snacks or dessert, coffee, carbs. [/quote]
