We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

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.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
The Blue Zones in my opinion are nothing less than a fallacy The Blue Zones are basically Ancel Keys cherry-picking and basically what Dan Buettner and his colleagues did was choose five regions of the world Acharya region of coaster of the Akari region of Greece Sardinia the Nicoya region of Costa Rica Loma Linda California and Okinawa and they tried to extrapolate what their diet was and say and they also looked at lifestyle and they try to say hey these places have exceptional longevity
in summary the blue zones are [ __ ] I'll say it at the end blue zones are [ __ ] they're cherry-picked there are many regions of the world with increasing uh longevity relative to general population that are left out
blue zones are a fallacy they really are a fallacy they really are not true they should not be used to substantiate a plant-based diet
