    Well personally I believe I only need to survive another ~40 years (in
    the absolute worst case) before technology will make these issues moot.
    Currently I'm almost 29. So I am not so interested in diets to extend my
    max lifespan... what I AM very interested in is minimizing my chances of
    getting cancer, a heart attack, or any currently untreatable diseases
    while simultaneously eating in such a way as to maximize my mental
    alertness/well being and physical fitness. So I am likely to choose
    whatever diet I decide has the best historical and scientific evidence
    behind it to accomplish those goals.
