Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 This lady lived in downtown Los Angeles, where the smog can get really horrible. She also loved eating ice cream. All this proves IMO is that there are more factors than just diet in health in longevity. But it certainly does make one feel better about eating crispy bacon now doesn't it? - > > I've always liked crispy bacon, but I'm always reading about how bacon is full of those nasty carcinogenic nitrosamines and heterocyclic amines. Apparently no one told Gertrude Baines who lived to the age of 115 and liked her bacon crispy and her chicken fried. So, it can't be that bad can it ? > > http://news./s/ap/20090911/ap_on_re_us/us_obit_oldest_person > > Thanks to Stan the Heretic for the tip: > http://stan-heretic.blogspot.com/2009/09/living-to-115-on-crispy-bacon.html > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice cream is one of the few sweets I still like but eat rarely. > All this proves IMO is that there are more factors than just diet > in health in longevity. Quite true. I did read that Dr Rosedale said that about the only common factor found among the very oldest people is low fasting levels of insulin. > But it certainly does make one feel better about eating crispy > bacon now doesn't it? Much better, as it probably helps to keep insulin low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
