Funny thing when we look at the graph above, the healthiest of the people live on a diet that is 80% or more white rice.

Yes, but many, if not most exist in a state of continual caloric insufficiency.

That's what I believe. They have studied this in rats. Those fed 70% of their ad lib diet live about 30% longer so it looks like you can consume a certain number of calories before you die.

Just ran across an interesting piece today discussing the human biome, all the little microcritters living in your gut. About 3 lbs of them in an average human, which is a lot of microcritters. We've been altering our own biome with out-out-of-control use of antibiotics. There is good data suggesting that some of the ailments plaguing our society are a direct result.
