No--because diet is only one component and the combinations of the components are exponential...genetics, water consumption, quality of food, exercise, etc. cannot all be controlled unanimously to clearly define ONE thing as being the one that is "Incontrovertible"...the best you can do is show a correlation...I agree that eating healthier can make you feel better now, but everything else contributes to whether or not it will make a difference in how long you might live. You could die tomorrow, so eat a freaking donut sometimes...lol

Yes, I would definitely try. But, it would be REALLY hard to give up bacon!

I would be tempted. I'm also tempted by the taste of food that is bad for me. I think about how quantity and quality of life need to be balanced. But if my health issues were so bad that they threatened my, life, I would get with the regimen very fast!

No. I would rather live for 75 years and enjoy every steak than live for 82 and eat like a goddamn rabbit every day.

No. I would feed everyone else that diet if it resulted in thinking that the more you age, the more beautiful you become. That wrinkles were beautiful. That scars were a badge of courage.

I doubt it. I love meat and dairy too much. And honestly, I'm 50 in November, I'm in better physical shape than I was a decade ago and I don't feel a day over 30 anyway, so eating freely doesn't seem to have done me any mischief.

I've heard that being married also makes one live longer, but actually agree with the notion in both cases that .... it only SEEMS longer. ?

No. Simply eating healthy can do the same thing, you don't need to be vegan.

Yep

No.

You’d be talking about just averages. Individual results will always vary. A local man who lived to 109 was often seen in Hardy’s with his two girl friends.

How about if we just eat sensible portions and take long walks?

I always share this link. And people always roll their eyes and dismiss me. But ultimately, there is no fun in being sick.

I'm already mostly vegan but I do still enjoy the odd bacon sandwich. Oh and Chicken-mayo sandwich. And I have to have cheese in my beans toasty. Eggs for breakfast are also nice.

But apart from those, yeah, complete vegan. ?

If there was science io back it up im sure there is cause I've heard from a friend who is a vegan that has scientific evidence that it does

Already have

What are the expenses,and can anyone afford to do so?

Nah, like cheese too much!

I smoke so no

Not if it meant no flavor...
I don't want to be here anyway...

Yes, who wouldn't? Until then, babyback pork ribs, baby.

It is very difficult to find incontrovertible data about anything diet related. I've read numerous books on this subject and usually find myself agreeing with the last book I read. But I will relate the joke I read about the low-fat diet: "It doesn't help you live longer, it just makes it seems like it is longer."

In general I try to eat a high fat diet, and one advantage is my skin hasn't wrinkled. Fat may be the healthiest food, because it is the only food type that doesn't provoke an insulin response

The only meat I eat is fish, so I'm mostly vegetarian, but since I've had cancer, strangely, my body has had other ideas. I'm taking cannabis oil and getting better, but one thing that happened was that my severe food allergies seem to have mostly disappeared as my appetite returned.

My fish intake has doubled and I started eating ice cream and sticky rice mixed fruit rolls, things I couldn't eat for decades. I even could eat dried shrimp thingies that look and taste like pork rinds.
Weird.
It seems like my body is craving and needing animal oils because now when I eat them, I improve.

Unfortunately I do not have that option.
Transplant physicians ask that I consume a small clean portion of animal protein every day.

I have no idea...
