Researchers at Imperial College London have performed a meta-analysis of 95 studies concerning the consumption of fruits and vegetables. They found that the greater the amount of such foods that was eaten, the greater the beneficial effects on health and longevity were—up to the largest amounts that had been studied. Effects included lessened risks of premature death, of cardiovascular disease, of stroke and of cancer.
Fruit and vegetable intake and the risk of cardiovascular disease, total cancer and all-cause mortality–a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies has been published in the 22 February International Journal of Epidemiology.

Most papers tend to from time to time interview the "oldest living person alive", or just people that make it past their 100th birthday, and such things. Mostly as some feelgood story but one of the questions that tend to pop up very often is regarding their diet and it's remarkably how often they seem to live on a diet of bacon, cookies, eggs and booze and not veggies and fruit. Since death is a certainty I might as well enjoy it while I can and no matter what anyone dare to say bacon is delicious.

One of my favorite versions of this was something George Burns said, in his later years: "I drink, I smoke, I run around with women half my age. People ask me what my doctor has to say about this. I tell them that my doctor died 10 years ago!"

That reminds me of an old joke:
A reporter interviews a 100 years old: "What do you consider the secret to your long life?" The old man answers: "No meat, no alcohol, no sex."
Suddenly, there's a loud noise from the next room. The reporter is startled: "What was that?"
"Oh, don't worry, that's just my father. He's drunk every evening."

DAWN, n. The time when men of reason go to bed. Certain old men prefer to rise at about that time, taking a cold bath and a long walk with an empty stomach, and otherwise mortifying the flesh. They then point with pride to these practices as the cause of their sturdy health and ripe years; the truth being that they are hearty and old, not because of their habits, but in spite of them. The reason we find only robust persons doing this thing is that it has killed all the others who have tried it. [emphasis added]
