Are Blue Zones Based Upon FRAUD? New Research May Suggest…
Imagine this. You were born in 1925 in a rural area in Italy and have no birth certificate. It's now 1965, so you're 40 years old. You know that pensions are given to those who are 60 or older. You're poor, uneducated, and have just about nothing to lose.

My Keto Diet Review from 2019: Thoughts After Three Years, Now Evolved
December 2025 Update from Mike

It’s no secret that the best-tasting foods are usually dosed with a higher amount of both fats and carbs.
