They are rich in potassium, a mineral many of us are deficient in, and a deficiency that causes old age to creep upon us sooner.

Modern scientific studies are unraveling the reasons. Some of the research is epidemiological. Large populations are studied for their dietary habits, and correlations between food intake and health consequences are identified.
