Hello Thomas,
What is your source? My guess is it comes from a
commercial site which sells nutritional supplements.
Please provide the link to your source, OK?
I'll quote one more time from the article I posted in
my first reply to you.
"There are anecdotal accounts of
the advanced ages attained by individuals of these
groups in early reports of travelers to these
regions. Leaf (1973, 1975) is, however, primarily
responsible for describing and popularizing these
groups as particularly longevous. Subsequent work,
however, has failed to substantiate the extreme
longevity of members of these communities. Social
factors which invest aged individuals with increased
status and misidentification are responsible for age
exaggeration in these populations".
