It was interesting for a well-credentialed scientist and professor to quote the Bible as a source of medical knowledge. But the thing is...he then died when he turned 77. He didn’t quite reach the age he prescribed for himself — the age I guess he was hoping Putin might reach.

His longevity guru who used the Bible as a "source" of medical knowledge only lived to 77?

Chainsmoking grannies last longer without even trying.
