What a wonderful story! I’m providing two links below, one to a National Geographic article which requires Apple Reader. At the National Geographic site, you will be locked out unless you’re a subscriber.This second link is to a different source which mentions Buettner’s recipe book: www.yahoo.com/now/secret-adding-extra-10-good-200000902.html“There is another American diet, one that could actually increase your life expectancy by up to 10 years and, in some cases, reverse disease. It’s not a fad diet invented by a South Beach doctor, a paleo diet marketer, or a social media influencer. This diet was developed by ordinary Americans, is widely affordable, is sustainable, and has a lower carbon footprint than a meat-heavy diet. Most important, it is hearty and delicious, developed over centuries by fusing flavors from the Old and New Worlds in ingenious and uniquely American ways.” ... See MoreSee Less
