I was a fitness trainer for 16 years, and I very much advocate for healthy eating. That having been said, my mom is going on 101 years old and she has been a donut and cookie fanatic her entire life. She also has all of her marbles. That totally flies in the face of what I know to be right about nutrition! Drives me crazy.
Well one person is a data point. A 1000 (or more!) people with similar stories is a statistic.
That’s great!
My MIL was similar to your Mom...died at 94..
