Yet the oldest verified living person is not Okinawan, how do you explain that?
Just because there's one guy who happens to be the oldest documented living person outside Japan doesn't mean everything else is irrelevant. There are plenty of centenarians in Okinawa, Japan and east-southeast Asia in general. I have plenty of centenarian relatives myself.
I've been in Tokyo before for a few weeks and I saw so many elderlies being active kicking it hard and chasing the subway trains to go to work. In US, most elderlies with similar age group would have been in nursing home bedridden all day.
The older they get, the lesser they eat and the simpler the type of food they eat. And they are cold, real cold. Not even close to 98.6 degrees. That's what I noticed from my relatives. And no, they don't drink OJ, milk, coffee, cheese and eat lots of sugar. Honestly, none of the centenarian I've known personally and through documentation eat like that.
We can talk all the theories and research studies in the world for years, but the truth is that the real world is not as simple as isolated, pinpointed research studies and hypothesis. There are lots of things at play such as genetics, living environment, lifestyle, overall diet, the regional location, stress level, relationship with friends and families. These things are interconnected, not just thyroid.
