The Blue Zones Are A Scam: Dr Saul Newman Reveals the Biggest Corruption in Longevity Research

💬 “82% of people in Japan over the age of 100 turned out to be dead. And they didn't check them all. It is crazy. It is completely crazy.” -Dr Saul Newman

⚡️ Dr Saul Newman from the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, won an Ig Nobel Prize for research debunking data on the world’s oldest people. His soon to be released book ‘Morbid: an iconoclastic debunking of ageing science’ is all out about fraud, wishful thinking, and ageing research.

⚡️ In this episode Saul and I debunk the fantasy of “blue zones”, where an extraordinary number of people live beyond 100. Should we really be basing health and fitness advice on these longevity hotspots?

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡︎ Why some of the most unhealthy and poorest regions are churning out so many centenarians

➡︎ How “blue zone certificates” are being sold to US towns for $40mil

➡ Why the blue zone myth is dangerous to our health

➡︎ The real secret to living beyond 100

➡︎ How blue zones even impact insurance premiums
