Changing your diet could add up to 13 years to your life, study says

Still would be better to buy the real beans and avoid the canning process

 

Yeah, but I have about a can a day. It's my fast food.

Now you tell me.

 

I recall looking at a map of average life expectancy in Japan and the difference between Okinawa and the worst area was just a year. Also the gap between men and woman is fairly big though. Men tend to eat more.

Though things like natto / fermented soy (Vitamin K2) and better fiber sources may make a difference I expect the largest factor is calorie control. The Japanese like many Asians have a belief in eating until you just start to feel full and stop. Women particularly follow this.
