NEW YORK CITY, New York (AFP) - A United States (US) drug company said on Friday it was considering a banana-flavoured version of its pain reliever after the world's oldest man attributed his longevity to the fruit and the drug.
Spanish-born Salustiano "Shorty" Sanchez-Blazquez, a 112-year-old former coal miner who lives close to Niagara Falls in upstate New York, was named by Guinness World Records as the oldest certified man on the planet on Thursday.
He succeeded Japan's Jiroemon Kimura, who died on June 12 at the age of 116. According to Guinness, Mr Sanchez-Blazquez is currently the only male born in 1901 with proof of birth.
From his birthplace in Spain, he moved at 17 to Cuba, where he worked on sugar plantations, before arriving in the US via the iconic immigration centre on Ellis Island in 1920.
