Define "as long as you can".

Some people live on a diet of mostly red meat. "As long as they can" will be until the heart disease drops them dead one day. Arteriosclerosis is a scary thing. Statistics say that you don't die in an accident, you're extremely likely to die of heart disease or cancer, not old age. Both heart disease and cancer are strongly linked to a high meat diet.

Some people might live on a diet of a large amount of fish caught from a river near me, the Delaware River. These fish are massively contaminated with mercury, PCBs, and other crap dumped into the water. A person could feel very full and satisfied eating these fish each day... until the cancer or mercury poisoning caught up with them.

However, if a person is found to be very sick with mercury, he is treated ("detoxified") to remove as much of the toxin as possible

Or fast food which is very similar to paper?
