However, there is still hope. According to a new Tufts University study, you can play God, albeit in a very minor role, by altering your diet to include the ten foods noted in the study. Ten foods is a rather limited diet, though. Tomatoes? Olive Oil? Garlic? Red grapes/red wine? Well, apparently Italians will outlast us all. Who knew?
