Brazil woman oldest in world

A 114-year-old Brazilian woman is the world’s oldest living human, Guinness World ~Records said.

Maria Gomes Valentim attributes her longevity to eating a daily roll of bread for breakfast along with fruit, although she indulges in the occasional nip of wine.

Guinness said that Ms Valentim, aged 114 years and 313 days, is 48 days older than the previous holder, Besse Cooper from Monroe, Georgia, in the US.
