Various scientific researches prove that short people live longer
People who were 158 centimeters tall or shorter, lived longer. The range was observed in all circumstances from 1.52 meters to over 1.82 meters in stature. The taller you tended to be, the shorter your life span. What makes short people more long-lived seems to be a sort of protection offered by a particular gene, called ‘longevity gene’, that is FOXO3. This gene is what causes body size to remain more contained during development. (...)Other factors related to probable longer longevity found by the researchers were lower blood insulin levels and a lower incidence of cancer, also in lower people. (...) Another point against tall subjects is the number of cells: being more in number, the risk of mutations that could cause cancer, also increases. A larger body, then, tends to burn more energy, increasing the accumulation of toxic products that could contribute to general wear and tear.

Lifefuel or suifuel for manlets?
Lifefuel = They will live longer than taller people
Suifuel = They will continue to suffer for a long time
