I use to look around in a naive way and take my conclusions:

- Grandfather, 89, ate everything moderately during his life, mostly organic. He evites fat and bread and walks every day. Low energy person.

- Grandmother, passed at 82, cancer. Same diet as my grandfather. Much less exercise though.

- Grandmother, 92, ate a lot until 50's, mostly organic, obese. Since then barely eats, mostly vegetables and yogurt. Right weight and good health. No exercise.

- Grandfather, passed at 71. Ate more fat than anyone I know. Death by heart attack or stroke. Very energetic person with a lot of exercise.

Can you see a pattern? I can't.



The minimum sample size for any meaningful statistic is 7
