I think it’s fruit, too. But that seems too obvious, as others have said…my runner-ups are divorce and space travel, i.e., the only ones I felt confident ruling out were smoking and losing weight.

I’d have to guess the false statement is “Fruit makes you look older.” But my hunch is also that I’ll be surprised by the answer.

I’ll be very surprised if the answer is *not* #3 – eating fruit.

I’m guessing space travel is false. Zero gravity = less sagging everywhere!

If losing weight makes you look older then getting divorced probably makes you look older. A lot of people lose weight during/after a divorce (and not just the 180 or so pounds of dead weight they just ditched.)

Everyone knows smoking makes you look older. Fruit seems like the obvious false choice so I’m guessing it’s not the right one either.

Can’t wait to see the answer!
