People living over 100 years old obviously have huge genetic factors that allow them to have unhealthy habits (or at least unhealthy for the normal person). I mean, there are people over 100 that smoke every day.

parent tried bolstering his claim by mentioning the Keys lived to 100. I point out that Kummerow who did good research outlived him.

Seriously Keys work is garbage. Where the publicly unknown Kummerow's research was spot on. If you don't know who Kummerow is he's the guy that finally forced the FDA to ban transfats decades after they were known to be poison.

Thank you, Kummerow looks very interesting. I have some reading to do now.
