Betty White's secret of longevity
Betty 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.
Betty White Shares Her Secret to a Long Life in New Interview: ‘I Try to Avoid Anything Green'
"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."
Good for her that she had her own healthy instincts and wasn't swayed by health pundits. She looks lively in this picture. How long until research confirms: A low vitamin A diet is good for longevity? 🙂
Vitamin 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.
