Didn't someone prove that these statistics are all thrown off by pension fraud?

Yeah it was all pension fraud, but the current idea of a Mediterranean diet has had quite a bit of testing since and is probably healthy

Cutting out processed food is going to be healthy anyway

This is what I was remembering. The "blue zones" that supposedly have much longer life spans also coincidentally are rife with pension fraud.

More so, we can replicate those diets and not see anything like the changes people claim come from just changing the diet.

The answer is and has always been "we're all forced to work ourselves into early graves." We can replicate everything except not working 80% of you adult awake hours, to be allowed to live.

As a culture, we just don't have the courage to deal with that.
