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.)
