Japanese Woman at 114 May Be (NEW) World's Oldest

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan may still retain its claim as home to the world's oldest person, despite the death on Friday of the Japanese woman who had held the title.

Kamato Hongo, who was recognized as the world's oldest person by the Guinness Book of World Records, died in the southwestern city of Kagoshima aged 116.

After Hongo's death, Mitoyo Kawate, a 114-year-old woman in Hiroshima in southwestern Japan, became the oldest person in Japan, Japanese media reported on Saturday.

It was not immediately clear whether Kawate was the world's oldest person.

3. The reason
these japanese people are so old is because they eat these native foods LOADED with hyaluronic acid and ascorbic acid- collagen precursors. Meaning, they eat this stuff which keeps their tissues, muscles, bones, and organs healthy. Basically it's everything you need to fight old age.
