Donkey Milk Please!
Ecuadoran woman who once drank donkey milk is now World's oldest
- A clean-living Ecuadoran woman who as a girl drank donkey milk is now -- at 116 -- the world's oldest living person, her daughter told AFP.
Maria Esther Heredia Lecaro now holds the Guinness Book record, her daughter Hilda Capovilla, 80, said Friday. Capovilla is the third of five children of longevity record-holder Heredia Lecaro, who spent her girlhood on a coastal family farm, and went on to wed an Austrian military engineer who died back in 1949.
The woman turned 116 September 14. "My mother has no health problems, not cholesterol ... not high blood pressure," her daughter said, noting that her mother played the piano, and has never smoked or drunk alcohol. "She feeds herself, handles the dishes wonderfully, and doesn't depend on anyone."
Three of Heredia Lecaro's children are still alive, and she has 11 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren, her daughter said.
The oldest living man is a Puerto Rican, Emiliano Mercado Del Toro, who turned 114 in January.
