Benjamin Disraeli once said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Obviously he liked statistics no more than the average person does today. But where statistics are properly employed they can be extremely truthful and useful. And although statistics may dehumanize information, they do convey large quantities of information in a short space. In the case of the information coming out of the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute, these statistics convey a great deal of great information.

The following statistics were obtained.
