No its the same formula centurians have been using documented in Japan, Italy and other Mediterrean Countries. Ok I give up what is it?

The answer my friend aint blowing in the wind its simply using food as a medicine killing everything from diabetis to cancer and following the blue zone diet:Blue Zone Diet: Foods to Eat and Avoid Blue Zones is about 95% vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes.
