the videos are great! watch them!</p>
<p>
Nir is age 55; but his grand mother in law died at age 102;</p>
<p>
recruited 500 centanarians and their kids;</p>
<p>
how do centanarians live so long; (despite smoking and obesity in some of them!)</p>
<p>
Ashkenazi Jews. enviro, lifestyle; look at DNA</p>
<p>
striking findings:</p>
<p>
longevity is in the family! v high levels of HDL good cholesterol (some over 80 to 100)</p>
<p>
CETP, CVD Alz and DM</p>
<p>
APOC3 protects against DM and CVdis</p>
<p>
ADIPOQ (adiponectin gene) protects)</p>
<p>
this genetic makeup DOES protect the rest of the population;</p>
<p>
80% modulated by enviro and 20% by genes;</p>
<p>
CETP => drug development (this video was made be failure of CETP drug trials);</p>
