Barefoot, it has been said that Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head. As it turns out, that was just a myth. But if it were true, would you want to know if it was recent? Gravity is gravity regardless of when it was discovered.
I'm just pulling your leg, (sort of).
Your question is about the Okinawa study? I'm not sure as to the absolute number of people in the study. But I think I remember reading that they interviewed and examined over 600 centenarians. If that's true, that would make it the largest study of centenarians ever. More information can be found in the book, "The Okinawa Program".
Here are my questions for anyone who might know: How many people were in the study that calls for "everything in moderation"? Was it a recent study, and what was the result for health and longevity?
