So you're looking at "outliers" - which there are always a few in a population, healthy or unhealthy. These people can genetically handle greater "toxic exposure" for a time. But many other people, don't forget, have died long before: related to habits like the ones you've cited.

1. Most are overweight.
2. Most are sedentary.
3. They eat a lot of fish and meat.
4. They use copious amounts of olive oil and salt.
5. They use white flour pasta.
6. They drink a lot of wine.
And yet they live a long life. It makes me wonder where in the world does any population eat McDougall? Not even in Okinawa. If these people did eat McDougall would they live longer?
