A study by researchers at West Northland University has discovered a link between longevity and foot size. Herman Littlepod, the Professor of Geriatric Podiatry said it as a surprising conclusion: “We expected lifestyle and geography to be more of a factor but some subjects smoked and drank, some didn’t and it didn’t seem to matter where they lived. In the end, the only common denominator was that the majority of them had larger than average feet.”
Reseachers say funding has been approved for a supplemental study but stress that research is also needed in a different direction: A basic rule of science is to repeat the experiment…..but we would be remiss to not ask the obvious questions: ‘what are they inherent dangers of having small feet that seem to shorten life spans?’, ‘Is it a balance problem?’ or ‘Are there therapeutic properties in foot odour?’
