    Well, there was this study done in Italy, showing that men who drank a single glass of red wine every day would live ten to fifteen percent longer than those who didn't. Something to do with the alcohol thinning their blood slightly and allowing it to move more easily through cholesterol clogged arteries.
    I think I'm just going to stick to my six minute miles and hikes on the appalachian trail.
    Also, it's been proven that a select population of Japanese citizens, particularly those from Okinawa, have been living to ages of 110 or more. They say it's from drinking a little sake every day, eating until they're "80% full", and walking everywhere they need to go. The younger Japanese aren't so lucky, especially since the acceptance of American fast food chains into their countries.

    From what I've seen while I was there, all the Japanese live long lives, mostly because of their heavy diet of fish, rice, and vegatables, though I like to think its from all the ramen! (If its the noodles I'll live forever)

    And yeah, the micky D's are taking down the younger generation.

    "80% full" - how do they measure it? Slice their stomach or ingest some device?

    Well, Japan is a hi-tech country, isn't it? I think they measure the Archimed force before they eat and after. Russians eat what they can eat (our inheritance from USSR nutrient deficiency) either it will make them 10 or 115 % full.
