Castro healthy enough to live till 140 years old: doctor

Cuban President Fidel Castro, who turns 80 this year, enjoys vibrant health and will live to 140, his chief doctor said.

Doctor Eugenio Selman-Housein, who heads Castro's medical team, denied that the longtime leader has Parkinson's disease, as the CIA reportedly believes.



"Every day they invent a new one," Selman-Housein said. "He will live 140 years."

Castro's health, once a taboo subject in the communist-led island, has become a topic of discussion since he fainted in public in 2001 and slipped and fell before television cameras in October 2004.

Castro, who quit smoking his trademark cigars in 1986, has led Cuba since 1959. He turns 80 on August 13.

I married a Leo and one of my son's is a Leo and my mom was a Leo. They do like to run things and just kinda take over when you're not looking. They're mostly so charming that you don't realize right away that they're running your life. Devil

Simpson is to doughnuts. Mmmm, Havana Club, drool drool.

If you get a chance to drink it, it's worth the taste, especially the Anejo (with a tilde on the n) in a tiny little glass. Nectar.

I think the oldest I have tried is seven years too. I must have confused it with some Single Malt Scotch.

However, there is a 15 year old that I have not tried and unless I travel I won't be able to do it either Sad
