World's oldest woman says she eats bacon every day.

World's oldest woman says she eats bacon every day.

The fountain of youth has been found and its name is bacon. Maybe.

Susannah Mushatt Jones, aka ‘Tee’ is current the world’s oldest person, according to Guinness. She has more than 116 years of wisdom under her belt.

In a recent interview with the New York Post, Tee said she wakes up at 9:30 a.m. for a breakfast of scrambled eggs with bacon. Every day. Like clockwork.

“She’ll eat bacon all day long,” an aide at the Brooklyn facility where she lives told the paper.

“Sometimes, she’ll take the last strip, fold it in a napkin, put it in her pocket and save it for later,” Tee’s niece, Selbra Mushatt, told Time.

Tee, short for ‘Auntie’, has 100 nieces and nephews, according to Guinness.

After following the bacon and eggs up with some grits, Business Insider reports, Tee unwraps five sticks of Doublemint gum and starts chewing away.

Despite possibly making you feel like a little better about your diet, Tee knows it’s not actually the reason she’s lived so long.

“I never drink or smoke,” she told the NYC Housing Authority when they paid tribute to her at 106. “I surround myself with love and positive energy. That’s the key to long life and happiness.”

According to Guinness, Tee’s still got another six years of bacon and egg breakfasts ahead of her if she wants to take the title of ‘oldest person ever’.

The oldest person to have reportedly ever lived, Jeanne Calment of France, lived to 122 years and 164 days.
