woman lives to 117, but eats little in the way of fruits and veggies, just a few eggs, biscuits, and chicken — maybe caloric restriction? http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39610937
Other MSM outlet mentions that she suffered from anemia: “The doctor said Morano has never had a very balanced diet, relying mostly on animal protein, the occasional banana and grapes in season. Her diet now includes two raw eggs and 100 grams of raw steak a day, which Bava prescribed after she had a bout of anemia some years back. Her nieces also make her apple sauce.”

Is this real? or just another form of confirmation bias?
ReplyHi MG, great catch. Who knows whether confirmation bias or real? But I doubt if it hurt her.
ReplyPD & MD,
Though this lady lived to 117. I’m not sure that she is a great example of longevity healthspan. According to the BBC report, she had ‘not left her small two-room apartment for 20 years.’
I’m aiming at a long healthy active happy life !
ReplyThis is close to something that’s been kicking around my pea-brain recently. Yes, the Japanese live longer than Yankees do, for example. But they still get old, frail, and die. Imagine if you combined their good fish/veg/greentea/activity/sunshine/etc practices with proper fitness and less rice.
Well, that’s what our goal here is, sort of. I guess.
ReplyGreat article & thought provoking. With a high level of consumption of meat among those that are LCHF, is iron overload something to be cautious of?
“iron chelators (substances that bind and remove iron) fight cancer”
In addition to blood donation & IP-6 supplements, whole grains & legumes are big source of iron chelators (phytates). Would it be safe to say, based on this, that they can considered part of a healthy diet?
ReplyHi Shameer: Meat consumption could be a problem with regard to iron, but I consider it, if at all, way down the list. In the U.S., all flour, corn meal, and rice is fortified with iron, by law. Beyond that, consumption of alcohol and sugar increases iron uptake. Any individual’s iron load results from a confluence of factors. As for phytates, I take IP6 myself and believe it’s a must-have supplement.
ReplyI’d never heard of a legal requirement to fortify foodstuffs in the US, but then I wouldn’t necessarily have, either. But googling reveals
### https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/ucm470756.htm ###
which suggests –to my cursury scan anyway– that what *is* required by law is standard fortification if a foodstuff is to be fortified.
So, flour sold as “fortified flour” must conform to FDA specs. Not that all flour must be fortified. Or am I reading that wrong?
Either way, this is interesting stuff. Well, this post, not necessarily the FDA webbie. Especially about the smoke.
One thing that comes to mind though, what will happen with world overpopulation as more and more people start living longer? Yikes.

ReplySounds like you’ve got the makings of another Mangan resolves catch 22 type article: UV is constantly touted as essential for vitamin D, yet sun exposure clearly damages and ages skin. Looking forward to reading your recommendation for an I-P6 DIY topical prophylaxis and corresponding tanning protocol!
ReplyYou are really going to like this. cancer cells have 3x the iron as normal cells. Iron used to help kill breast cancer with sweet wormwood and iron combined as a super oxidant approach. I would say this is pretty close to what you are saying. even Sweet wormwood alone cures dog bone cancer….

Steve, thanks. Indeed, cancer cells are loaded with iron. Vitamin C in high doses can kill them because the C reacts with the free iron in cancer cells, of which normal cells have little. Iron chelators have anti-cancer activity too. Iron is intimately involved in cancer, and it makes a great therapeutic target. Of course, iron chelators are cheap, so they’re not promoted.
ReplyExcuse my ignorance, but what is IP-6?
Searching, think it’s antioxidant, but the composition is contained in various ingredients, like magnesium, calcium, IP-6, etc. So, what does?
