Eh. So what's wrong with 72?

"Atkins diet does not cause practitioners to live forever."

As I recall, Jim Fixx the running proponent died of a heart attack at age 52. He was very, very fit.

Atkins died from a head injury he got when he slipped and fell on an icy sidewalk.

I guess when your number's up, it's up.
