He will be 100 years old on 26-December 2019. Seems like a brilliant man and healthy too.
Do you know what he eats?

In the back of a tiger teaser he seems to be eating some kind of pastry like a croissant and what seems to be a noodle soop.
He has lots of age spots and periorbital edema.
Cholesterol is not the culprit said:
- Fat is an essential part of any diet - without fat, people cannot live.
- Two types of fats are healthy for you - saturated fat from animals and unsaturated fats from vegetables sources.
- Your body needs both saturated and unsaturated fats to function well.
- There are two types of trans fats - trans fats from the saturated fat of animals and trans fats produced artificially by hydrogenation from vegetable oil. They are used differently in the body with only the latter producing some unhealty effects.
- Frying food in fat can be done in a healthy way, but current practices are often unhealthy.
He seemed to be anti refined sugar too.
Cholesterol is not the culprit said:
- Carbohydrates (sugar and glycogen) are very important energy sources for the heart, brain ans muscles.
- It is better to get your energy from carbohydrates and fats than from protein.
- An excess of carbohydrates is made into fat in the body.
- Frequent snacks between meals actually increase weight gain more than if those same foods were eaten at a wider intervall of time.
- Carbohydrates as energy sources are important to our nutrition because: -They save proteins for other functions in the body. -They provide the fuel for all our bodily functions to work including the heart, lungs, brain and digestive systems. -They provide some minerals and vitams.
Fred Kummerow looked great indeed.
Fred Kummerow, Hero of the Trans Fat Battle | Dr. Gabe Mirkin on Health
"He certainly knew of the benefits of, and ate lots of, fruits ,vegetables, whole grains and nuts and he correctly avoided fried foods and margarine. However, at age 89, he had heart bypass surgery to treat arteriosclerotic blockage of the arteries leading to his heart. His research showed that dietary cholesterol and dietary saturated fats did not cause heart attacks, so he ate eggs, butter, milk, cheese and meat. "
His view of PUFA was apparently that it is harmful only when already rancid before ingesting. He didn't seem to know that they oxidize inside the body in the same way. I am not familiar with his work though. He seemed to be anti refined sugar too.

There is even natural trans- fats in tallow, and older generations very often used this fat for cooking seemingly without problems people face today. I don't buy this idea of trans fats being bad either. Until I see a study where they feed people/ rats pure trans fats, or at least trans fats without so much PUFA, I'll doubt it.From the Article-
"He was the first researcher to show that trans fats in margarines and many prepared foods cause plaques to form in arteries, with a paper published in Science in 1957. At age 100, he was finally successful in suing the FDA to ban trans fats from our foods. Trans fats have been linked to 100,000 deaths in the U.S. each year from heart attacks."
Any food with significant Trans Fat (from hydrogenation) contained far more PUFAs to start with, and likely even more PUFA than the more saturated fats that they displaced (tallow and traditional lard). I am still of the opinion that Trans Fats more a marker for the harms of PUFA rather than the Trans Fats themselves being all that harmful. They look and act much more like saturated fats.
In his On the Back of a Tiger Interview (Part 2):
starting at 24:56 -- No red meat. "I eat fish". He mentions eggs. He does not eat sugar, at least no processed one: "A lot of sugar is not good". He eats Sweet'n'low instead (!)
Go figure.
