Maybe -- but that sure wasn't the case with the centenarian family from the
US I posted about not too long ago. They were featured on TV around the time
one of the world longevity record holders had diet -- I believe it may have
been Jean Calument of France that had passed away. Anyway, they showed these
southern siblings having their favorite lunch in the local diner -- BIG portions
of southern chicken fried steak, big globs of mashed potatos with gravy, white
flour bisquits with butter and peach cobbler with whipped cream for dessert
-- I do not believe that calorie restriction had anything whatsoever to do with
their longevity. They felt their "secret" was attitude. They love life and
especially (their words, not mine) desserts!
