How can you live to age 96 and be that healthy while eating Cheetos?

My uncle is 96, he eats lots of sweets, and has dessert every day after his noon meal. More amazingly, he still has all of his own teeth. This will make you shudder, he was driving until last year, and so was my aunt, his 95 year old wife.

That's neat. I have a family full of those that never seem to die. I still have two Great-Grandmothers alive. My uncle Wilbur in Iowa still works on his farm, he's 95 years old. His father worked on that same farm until he died at 95 (from an infection in his broken hip that resulted from his falling off of a tractor). It amazing to talk with these people. I visit Aunt Maude on a weekly basis. She lives at home alone, dies her hair red, wears a Dallas Cowboys baseball cap, and drinks warm beer that she keeps in her pantry.
