And yet so many studies have suggested the opposite...

Come on folks - it's a lottery or didn't you know?

I guess it depends how many japanese centarians they found!

The thing is, japanese people deep fry rarely, or just using oil is rare itself. They do have karaage and some other dishes thats fried, but those are like treats and not as a full dish. They cook most things, boil or with steam. European cooking and japanese are very different, japanese are definitely healthier must say yet very delicious.

Japan has the most centarian women and Italy the most male centarians so maybe Mediterranean diet for men and Japanese diet for women it would seem.

2 things to say here -
1] People in Japan also live in a different environment to many westerners (they don't all live in Toyko) and tend to live slightly different lifestyles too.
2] To better my chances of living to 100 and it all being a lottery...I was thinking of winning the lottery and being able to afford a quality of life that was a little better than many who cannot afford it while a small number of greedy pigs (who are the root cause of poverty in others) tell us all to pull our socks up. Please look closely for a hint of irony in this reply before swearing.
