Japan Loses Centenarians by the Truckload

Over the past couple of years a number of long-held beliefs have been taking hits. Now it's time to cross another one off the list. As long as I can remember experts have been extolling the benefits of the Japanese diet as a path to longevity. However, according to recent research from the government of Japan, it's a total sham. Turns out that the high percentage of centenarians living in Japan is just a massive bookkeeping error and pension fraud committed by the senior citizens' children.  Oh well.
