Only three false datums of which to beware; scientists say we can only live to 100 and both what he calls myths are not backed up by any data I have seen and his whole presentation is a complete contradiction of them! 🙂 Strange to say the least. Nevertheless some great data. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/26/buettner.long.life/?hpt=C2

What You Eat Affects Your Kids and Grandkids
This week’s news is that what you eat before and during pregnancy affects the health of not just your children but also your grandchildren. If you eat a fatty (presumably hydrogenated vegetable oils, although they did not explicitly state that) diet, even if your daughter eats healthy, your grandchildren are still statistically more likely to suffer from disease.
This may be the why the current rapid rise in cancer rates. Two generations ago wholesale consumption of highly processed and frozen foods kicked off. We may only now be learning the high price of convenience.
New Scientist says “…a fatty diet may cause… …DNA modifications that can be passed on to future generations.” http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/05/11/rats-on-junk-food-pass-cancer-down-the-generations.aspx?aid=CD532
