I thought every question was answered by our AI nowadays? :)<br>
My AI agrees almost exactly with Daniel's list.<br>
It also agrees that some doubts have been cast on the 'blue zones' research.<br>
(Check in Wikipedia) e.g. age of very old people can be difficult to<br>
validate in areas without birth certificates and there could be other<br>
factors than diet and lifestyle in long-lived areas.<br>
