There is perhaps one thing that the Internet, your mom and scientists agree on: eating lots of fruits and vegetables is good for you. But according to a new study, following any one of five diets that are rich in these foods and some others could also boost your lifespan.

By following more than 100,000 people in the U.K. for years, researchers found that people whose food choices scored high in any one of five diet categories tended to live longer than people who scored the lowest. Specifically, the team found that even after adjusting for confounding factors—such as whether people smoked, how much exercise they took and what their education and ethnicity was—study participants who tended to eat according to any one of the five diets were 18 to 24 percent less likely to die of any cause.

For women, that roughly translated into an extra 1.5 to 2.3 years of life. And for men, it added about 1.9 to three years. The findings were published on Friday in the journal Science Advances. http://spklr.io/6045Ddfdx

Colorectal cancer rates are exploding in younger people. Seed oils are likely a major cause. Please start looking at ingredients--these inflammatory oils are everywhere! 🥯🍪🍟Read more about this when you can, and please try to make more from scratch, using olive oil, avocado oil, lard, ghee, butter, and coconut oil. Ensure your olive oil is from a reputable company that does not mix in canola oil and purposely mislabel the product! (processed and smoked meats also raise colorectal cancer risk--sausage, smoked meats, smoked salmon, deli meats, bacon, etc)

A new study suggests certain lipids, particularly omega-6 fatty acids, which are commonly found in seed oils used to make ultraprocessed junk food, may promote inflammation that can lead to colon cancer tumors
