This is sure an interesting story that has come out recently: some Amish in the community of Berne-Geneva, Indiana possess a genetic mutation that results in an extra long life. Interesting. I've spent a lot of time in that Amish settlement and I can tell you that obesity is rarely an issue, so that is noteworthy, I think. There are, however, a lot of other inherited health problems so I was surprised to hear this. But, hey, I'm happy for my Amish friends there, if they have that gene, they'll likely live a long life.
