#3“I went back in my mind: what am I not eating enough of?” he told me. Definitely not fruits and vegetables: he crams as many as 20 of them, including pulverized banana peels and the ground-up rinds of oranges, into the smoothies he drinks two to three times a day

“I’ll match wits with anybody,” he says. “I don’t care if they have the top degree in the world.” He notes that everyone on his research campus’s board is a Ph.D. or an M.D. But he, the high-school dropout, presides over the meetings.

#9I think for most people, if these extreme measures brought them another 50 years it may be worth the effort of being perfectly disciplined. But even if he is onto something, which may think they are using conflicting methods, it's probably going to buy him an extra few years over just being healthy without being obsessive.
