BBC reporter seems to have possibly discovered the secret of eternal life...

...going by the two paragraphs in an article about low carb diets...

"They found that eating more beef, lamb, pork, chicken and cheese in place of carbs was linked with a slightly increased risk of death.

But replacing carbohydrates with more plant-based proteins and fats, such as legumes and nuts, was actually found to slightly reduce the risk of mortality."

In the context of the article I know what he was saying but as a BBC journo (Health reporter) you would think he might have read what he had written before committing it to print.

 

If it reduces the risk of mortality... does it increase the risk of immortality?

 

Ah! A philosophical start to Friday! Nothing like it....

I'm dying to find out
