The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
if you look at Mormons living in California they also live seven years longer than the average Californian and Mormons don't shun me they eat steak you know in the same way yeah what do both of those people do they don't drink they don't smoke and they focus on family
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Mormons don't shun me they eat steak you know in the same way yeah what do both of those people do they don't drink they don't smoke and they focus on family
the people in Loma Linda live an average of seven years longer than those in California the Loom on Linda's in Southern California but if you look at Mormons living in California they also live seven years longer than the average Californian
it's equivalent to that of californian mormons who don't shun meat
the longevity advantage in loma linda might just be due to the fact that they shun alcohol and tobacco
mormons living in california have a similar longevity advantage but they don't shun meat this is exactly this is analogous to what we are talking about with observational epidemiology what we are saying here is that the healthy lifestyle characteristics several healthy characteristics of the mormon lifestyle are associated with substantially reduced death rates and increased life expectancy the mormons in california live just as long as the folks in loma linda but dan buettner didn't choose this as a blue zone oh i wonder why because the mormons don't shun meat it didn't fit his hypothesis
you look at the mormons in california and you compare their longevity to seventh-day adventists the mormons and the seventh-day adventists have the same longevity but the mormons eat meat and the seventh-day adventists don't
so is it the meat that's causing the longevity of image and loma linda i would say absolutely not it's probably the other healthy behaviors
other populations of californians who also experience the same longevity benefits lifestyle and reduced mortality among california mormons 1980-2004 but the california mormons are they're dispersed throughout california they don't live in a specific area this is not considered to be a blue zone or a blue population but they do have decreased mortality they do live on average about the same as the loma lindens seven years longer than the general california population
loma lindens tend to live seven years longer than the average californian it's true
the Mormons eat lots of meat but what are the Mormons and the Roman lindens have in common well it seems that these fervent religious groups who shun alcohol and tobacco tend to have beneficial health effects associated with that that's a commonality between Mormons and Seventh-Day Adventists
the California Mormons are they're dispersed throughout California they don't live in a specific area this is not considered to be a blue zone or a blue population but they do have uh decreased mortality they do live on average about the same as the Lan lindens seven years longer than the general California population
