It depends on the location.

They have a similar problem in Scotland , particularly in the Glasgow area.

Men in that age group dropping like flies.

Main cause seems to be the diet and low exercise

Diet consists of chips, beer and butties.

Butties are inch thick white bread slices, soaked in egg, fried and served with bacon.

Meanwhile the Greek island of Ikaria has one of the highest population densities of people over 90 in the world.

Isn’t that what we call French Toast?

Served with butter and maple syrup in my house.

My kids used to love it.
