Hi, I have seen on a raw food web site that some cultures live to be approx. 120- 130 years old and that 80 is not a normal life span. If this is accurante, does anyone know where I can find data about these cultures online?

Thanks

Not sure about online but you might want to see John Robbins' book "Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World's Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples".

For related information, you might want to google "Blue Zones."

saer,

Where did you read this? All peoples that have non-industrialized lives with abundant unprocessed food and fresh water are long-lived. You might try Googling: the Hunza, the Vilcabambas, the Abkhazians, the Andorrans, and the Okinawans. Bear in mind, that many of these peoples have been incorporated into other larger cultural groups, so their longevity may be a matter of supposition or date back to the era before strict record keeping. Good luck.
