Maybe they're on to something. Hmm, notice the last two sentences.

I'm betting it's a combination of genetic factors and diet. I assume by your name and some things you've said previously that you're first-gen immigrant? The reason I ask is I'm wondering if you still eat a diet heavy in fish and other seafoods and low in animal fat or have you been seduced by the Siren call of seared animal fat?

LIVING LONGER: The Japanese still live longer than anyone else. Japanese women born in 1993 are expected to live 82.51 years- up .129 years from the previous year. Men are expected to live 76.25 years- up .16 years. French women placed second at 80.94 years followed by Switzerland at 80.90, Iceland at 80.89 and Sweden at 80.79. American women placed at 79.10 years. For men, second place was Iceland at 75.74 years, Sweden at 75.35, Hong Kong at 74.90 and Israel at 74.54. U.S. males were at 72.2 years. The Japanese said their long lives was due to moderation in eating and drinking. Other advice was early to bed and early to rise religious faith and hard work.

I'm not a first generation immigrant, but we still eat a diet of mainly fish, rice and vegetables.

We eat red meat maybe once or twice for dinner.

I always marvel at the life expectancy of the Japanese.

In spite of their good diet, they smoke and drink like no one else, which you'd think would counter balance the diet.

It is interesting though that the leading cause of death is stomach cancer, which they blame on excessive salt intake.
