105 Year Old Women Reveals Shocking Longevity Secret

It seems that centenarians are always being interviewed regarding their secret to long life.  The answers rarely stray very far away from "I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol, I eat healthy, etc...".  I've never heard anyone over 100 claim that bacon was their secret to a long life, that is, until now.

This week, 105 year old, Pearl Cantrell of Texas made the claim that her love of bacon has helped her live a happy and healthy life. She even gets her kids to eat it.  She loves bacon so much that she eats it at every meal.  Say what?!! Bacon?!!  Who knew?  As we all know, health experts have long been bashing the potential ill effects of eating the fatty meat.  Are we really ready to embrace Pearl's rosy glasses view of bacon?  Hmmm.  I think I'll go eat some bacon and get back to you on if I feel like I'm going to live longer as a result.  I do know one thing: bacon is probably one of the best tasting foods on the planet.
