always found trying to work my way through all the diet variables was too tough. So I went around the problem and just looked at who was living to be real old-lol.

# this is a very good method, but in the case of the Ap-Milano people, it turns out to be genetic. In most case the reason is dietary-adaptive.

Japanese are the longest lived people and if they didn't eat so much salt would be longer lived yet.

# not always, where they are salt eating to excess, they are not particularly long lived. But in Okinawa their diet of soy, fish, and homegrown vegetables is productive of long life apparently. Many are city dwellers. Average age of death 86.

“Japanese people are said to have the longest longevity,” said Yamada. “Among the Japanese, the Okinawans live the longest. We use less salt than Northern Japan; we have fewer strokes. In Okinawa, we have a saying: ‘Ishuko dogen.’ It means ‘you are what you eat’ and people in Okinawa believe this.”

Rice, seafoods and vegetables and green tea.

# Actually rice is not eaten by all Japanese to the great extent imagined.
