As Japan’s annual meat intake rose from near zero to 52kg per person (45% of America’s level), deaths from strokes tumbled

is one of humanity’s great outliers. On January 2nd she became the third person ever to turn 118, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a team of academics. She is also the first citizen of Japan to reach 118—but is unlikely to be the last. The country has the world’s longest life expectancy, and 80,000 centenarians.

Japan was not always a longevity champion. In 1970 its age-adjusted mortality rates were average for the’s highest frequency of cerebrovascular deaths, caused by blood failing to reach the brain.average. With world-beating numbers on heart disease and fewer strokes, Japan soared up the longevity league table.

However, another cause may be diets. Japan largely banned meat for 1,200 years, and still consumes relatively little meat and dairy. Too much of these can be damaging, since they contain saturated fatty acids, which correlate to heart disease. Studies have also tied eating lots of processed red meat to a greater risk of stroke. But too little may be unwise as well, because they provide cholesterol that may be needed for blood-vessel walls.
