I wonder how much exercise those in the study got. I believe genes play a
big role. My dad is 89 and still very healthy, and has always eaten a lot
of meat, eggs etc. His dad lived to be 86 and was healthy, was working and
mowing golf course lawns into his late 70s. Neither were/are overweight and
stayed active.
