Betty White's secret of longevity
Quote from Sean on January 2, 2022, 10:35 amBetty White's recently passed at 99 years old. She recently stated the secret to longevity was avoiding eating anything green. She also prefers eating hot dogs and drinking vodka with a splash of grapefruit.
"She also enjoys eating a peanut butter, bologna and iceberg lettuce sandwich on white bread for lunch. According to her executive personal assistant of nearly a decade, Kiersten Mikelas, White’s mother used to make the snack for her as a child."

Quote from tim on January 25, 2022, 12:34 pmVitamin C status (more than intake) correlates with cardiovascular health. Elevated levels of retinoic acid deplete vitamin C due to collagen breakdown. Because humans are one of the few mammals that don't endogenously produce vitamin C I think that makes us more sensitive to excess vitamin A. Most senior citizens have Hypervitaminosis A, avoiding that into old age will probably confer longevity benefits. Everyone has a different ability to process vitamin A so while Hypervitaminosis A is correlated with dietary intake it's not a perfect correlation.
