I have a few problems with this.

7 Foods Science Proves will help you live longer on HuffPo has some right things and wrong things. First science doesn't prove anything, proofs are for math geeks, science only accumulates data and makes and inference based on the best data they have; and it can change if newer data becomes available, and that is what makes science so powerful. So to to prove say blueberries make you live longer, we'd have to feed you and your identical twin identical diets, but one of you gets blueberries and the other doesn't. So no go on prove.
Second, Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in many things other than salmon. Anchovies, sardines and other benthic organisms all contain them. But so do many grains and plants flax seed and chia seeds being the best for us Vegitarimen/women! So, like all studies and things posted on the web, take it with a grain of salt!
Go forth and Vegitate!
