Carb Intake in Healthy Centenarians

Posted Jan 20 2012 7:30pm

I was looking through an interesting study on Korean centenarians today.  The full-text is  here(pdf) .

Here is table showing the nutritional intake:

Does anyone look at this stuff when they recommend low-carb, high-fat for longevity and health?  Here you have a group of centenarians consuming well over 200 grams of carbs per day, along with a fairly low fat intake, and they seem to be doing just fine.

Also, this study is on a group of 54 centenarians, not just an individual case.  Is there any kind of comparable study showing a large group of low-carb, high-fat centenarians?  Not that I'm aware of. (Note: a newspaper article saying how someone loved bacon and lived to be 105 is not a study.)
