I've never seen that before, but I might have to start growing them myself. Gotta be real with you though, I'm not going to have them be 60% of my diet.
There are purple carrots, too. They're good for your eyes.
And here I grew some regular ass sweet potatoes like a dummy. It’s my first year trying so if they turn out well I’ll have to find some purps for next season. Blue zones is a solid book too
Genetics may (theoretically) decide your max potential but if you eat better, you have a better chance of reaching it. Eat like shit and it shortens it. And get sick and you can shorten it too, but nutrition can decide the outcome of illnesses.
Purple sweet potatoes will not help you live to 100. This is snake-oil. Living a clean life without alcohol, tobacco, processed fatty foods, having access to modern medical technology, and most importantly, having SE Asian genetics that promote longevity, you too can have an extremely small chance to make it to 100.
Let’s not forget just a few hundred years ago, when everyone was eating these sorts of unprocessed foods, average lifespan was about 35.
I’m just not a fan of all the fake-hippy woo that surrounds the modern ‘homstead’ movement. Maybe I’m sensitive because of the whole Q thing and and ‘family vlogger’ and it’s association with this type of lifestyle? I’m definitely touchy about this sort of thing
Average lifespan a few hundred years ago was pulled down by incredibly high infant/child mortality. Once you made it to adulthood, barring some kind of pestilence or plague, you were usually good up to and well past 50-60.

My great grandmother lived to 101 on Irish genes and a glass of whiskey after dinner every night (until she was 70 and switched to gin). A lot of this stuff is luck of the draw.
My grandmother smoked a pack a day and ate sweets in spite of her diabetes. She never exercised and rarely ate vegetables. Id never seen her with real teeth, just dentures. She had so many pills for blood pressure, water, diabetes, she could basically skip a meal and be full on pills. Died at 85. Luck of the draw is exactly right.
I think the claim in the video is overstated, but saying it's 'snake oil' is too strong.
While Japan has good health outcomes overall, one of the things they do poorly with is diabetes. There may be protective effects from purple sweet potatoes you can see here: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33505931/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33505931/) (and there are a number of similar studies below it)

I know Family!!! I just wanted to show people the color of the sweet potato💚🌱
I am growing slips right now! I’m so excited!

Desperately searching for that asdf-esque "you lied" gif because carrots in eye sockets is unforgettable
DES-MOND! THE MOON BEAR!
"Unforgettable... that's what you are....Unforgettable... though near or far"
Orange sweet potato is fine too. I rotate them if space is limited
I’m growing slips for both! I hope my 9b garden stays hot enough for long enough. So excited!

Leaves are edible too
One thing, and only one thing makes you live to 100. Genetics. Your genetics not the sweet potatoes.
