Thanks for sharing this Curlygirl. I cannot imaging being 115 yrs old. I was also struck by the comment about her bloods cells having 450 acquired mutations over the years which surprised the researchers. She never had any blood cancers or blood disorders. I guess the mutations she had are not linked to cancers.

Don't think I could eat raw salted herring though.
