Poor record keeping, welfare fraud the real ‘secret’ of living to 100 uncovered

Have we been fooled about the so-called ‘Blue Zones’ where everyone lives to 100? Today – how the science really stacks up.

The concept of Blue Zones sounds enticing. Small parts of Italy, Greece, Japan, California and Costa Rica where a combination of diet, lifestyle and belief have led to more people living happily to 100 and beyond than anywhere else in the world.

If the formula could be bottled and Blue Zones replicated, centenarians would be the norm rather than the exception. Living to a ripe old age would need to be recalibrated across the world.

But step forward Australian researcher Saul Newman from Oxford University, whose research has uncovered the real “secret” of living to 100 and beyond – poor record keeping and, in some cases worse, welfare fraud.
