Yes, Japanese have the highest life expectancy in the world, even though they smoke MORE (something that bothers those of us that are doctors tremendously). We know that smoking causes cancer, so the differential between their life expectancy and our would probably be greater still if they quit! Seaweed (Kelp) is another component of their diet that probably makes a difference. The Japanese use this in miso soup, as a snack, and as a thickening agent. It has been shown that a higher consumption of kelp regulates menstrual periods and significantly decreases menstrual pain. It has an anti-estrogen effect and in theory could lower the risk of breast cancer which is rare in Japanese women. (I add it to soups for my family) Since we spend more on health care than any other country in the world, but fail to make the top forty in life expectancy, perhaps we should be reading your entry daily. It is interesting that there is now a National Cancer Institute Study in place at the Mayo Clinic, using green tea for cancer patients. This happened after several patients initiated treatment on their own and had unexpected regressions in their cancers!
