Patrick: "I agree that what works for one person or one race may not be the same for another."
My mother is 99 and still healthy and mentally sharp; she still lives in the house she was born in. Her diet is poor, heavy on starchy sweets - sometimes when I visit we both have nothing but pie and ice cream for dinner. She has never done anything to actively cultivate good health. She scoffs at organic food, drinks quite a bit of wine, is suspicious of doctors, rarely exercises. She is and always has been thin though, and never overeats. What's to account for her long healthy life? I think nothing but good Irish genes, and possibly staying thin? I don't know. Certainly not any specific type of diet or exercise. Just a data point.
