I agree.That's why absurd suppositions are better avoided, they delegitimize the (futile) cause.

we examined the metabolic networks of a Chinese centenarian cohort and identified the elevated fatty acid oxidation (FAO) as the most significant metabolic feature in these long-lived individuals. Evidence from serum metabolomics supports this observation. Given that FAO declines with normal aging and is impaired in many age-related diseases, our study suggests that the elevated FAO has potential to be a novel signature of healthy aging of humans!
This sounds like a classical confounding of is and should. All extremely old people would be physically in a stressed/metabolically challenged state. The question is what where their levels of FFA at say 80? And what is the average FFA levels in peoples last years before deathSystem-level metabolic modeling facilitates unveiling metabolic signature in exceptional longevity - PubMed
Although it is well known that metabolic control plays a crucial role in regulating the health span and life span of various organisms, little is known for the systems metabolic profile of centenarians, the paradigm of human healthy aging and longevity. Meanwhile, how to well characterize the...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
I think this is due to their high pufa intake and popularity of nuts/seeds. Even when I was in an Ayurvedic hospital in Mumbai in 2006, they used high pufa oils for massage for 6 weeks..I noticed this when I lived in India. It is quite remarkable how much this occurs. It happens around 20-30 years of age. It is seriously like overnight. It always boggled my mind.
? Yes that makes sense!!I think this is due to their high pufa intake and popularity of nuts/seeds. Even when I was in an Ayurvedic hospital in Mumbai in 2006, they used high pufa oils for massage for 6 weeks..
@Lollipop2 yes, I did. Even the Indians living in the West.@cinderella did you notice that phenomenon of how woman’s bodies change so drastically?
Oh that is correct! I forgot about that - ? duh!!@Lollipop2 yes, I did. Even the Indians living in the West.
Also, being fat is a symbol of wealth in their culture..:)
I wonder if the benefits have more to do with the foods meat eaters do not eat. Many vegetarians or vegans swap meat for soy products, highly processed "convenience" "food" or inadequately prepared legumes.It is always interesting to see this then also note that there are many people who lived to their 90s with little meat consumption. What about the japanese that eat a diet of sweet potatos?
Few things i remember from Peats talks:I wonder if the benefits have more to do with the foods meat eaters do not eat. Many vegetarians or vegans swap meat for soy products, highly processed "convenience" "food" or inadequately prepared legumes.
It would be interesting to see a study where they compare different non-westernized people eating their traditional diet regarding meat intake.
my husband has been to Tokyo five times. He says the country people may eat sweet potato although the city people eat differently AND there are stories of Japanese who lived long who drank milk. Japanese nibble on snacks wrapped in seaweed and those who can afford it also eat Kobi beef. Many/most eat raw fish and most of them eat many thingsIt is always interesting to see this then also note that there are many people who lived to their 90s with little meat consumption.
