Legumes: the most important dietary predictor of survival in older people of different ethnicities
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=15294666&dopt=Abstract
"Conclusions: This longitudinal study shows that a higher legume intake is the most protective dietary predictor of survival amongst the elderly, regardless of their ethnicity. The significance of legumes persisted even after controlling for age at enrolment (in 5-year interval), gender, and smoking. Legumes have been associated with long-lived food cultures such as the Japanese (soy, tofu, natto, miso), the Swedes (brown beans, peas), and the Mediterranean people (lentils, chickpeas, white beans)."
This surprised me but I do love my butter beans and kidney beans. Mike

stockpile some lentils for emergencies- they take less fuel to cook and can be sprouted for a fresh vegetable.

Who would have thought that chocolate covered peanuts would be a health food?
