The number of people in Japan aged 100 or older has risen to a record high of nearly 100,000, its government has announced.
Setting a new record for the 55th year in a row, the number of centenarians in Japan was 99,763 as of September, the health ministry said on Friday. Of that total, women accounted for an overwhelming 88%.

I love this guy. From a different interview with him:
The part of this I am fine with is these poor regions are getting tourist money.”
He’s also quick to add that he has nothing against the super-centenarians – as people who are 110 or older are known – themselves.
“I think they’re the best part of this! They’re having a grand old time. What have you got to lose if you’re 96 and you can pretend you’re 119 and the whole world just goes along with it? What are they going to do – put you in jail?
…
“If someone’s selling you something to get the power of longevity, ignore them,” he concludes.
We already know what to do to increase our chances of a long, healthy life, anyway: “Don’t smoke or do drugs. Don’t drink. Do some exercise. That’s all you need to do. Maybe see your GP once a year.”
“There’s no other secret. I think everyone knows that deep down. The blueberry is not going to save you.”
Well said.

Came here to say this I know in my heart that it had already been said

So what? Being 100 is no pic-nic. Get back to me when we can figure out anti-aging and give me my 25 year old configuration back.
That’s pretty amazing!

From a other article:
Several prominent blue zone researchers wrote a rebuttal earlier this year, calling Newman’s work “ethically and academically irresponsible”.
Not going to call sides, but seem this research is controversial within the science community.
It can be crazy how some scientists react when their ideas/methodologies are challenged.
People are just like that in academic spaces.
Just rock up to any Edgar Allan Poe discussion forum and ask about the Orangutan.

AFAICT the article says there’s only one blue zone in Japan and doesn’t say that the rest of people over 100 in Japan are also fraudulent
10,000,000 years damn
Verified in person?
