> But the S-D Adventists, study says otherwise.

No, it does not. The difference between 81.2 (Okinawa) and 84.5 (SDA) is not 
significant enough to motivate people to give up foods they enjoy -- and which 
can still be part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Find studies on populations 
who eat lean meats, avoid alcohol and saturated fats, don't smoke, pray, and get 
lots of exercise. The SDA data are not diet-only, but about healthy lifestyle.

> Any idea what their agricultural methods are?

Yes, most of the SDAs I know here purchase their food at HEB and Albertson's 
(large chains) just live everyone else even though they don't buy meat.
