It's never too late to start a
family.
A 94-year-old Indian man -- who relies
on a high-fat diet -- claims he's the world's oldest new dad after
his wife gave birth last month to their first child.
"This child is God's gift to me,"
Ramjit Raghav said of the baby, Karamjit.
He said the secret of his miraculous
virility was being in shape as a wrestler in his youth and adhering
to a remarkable nuts-and-dairy diet.
Raghav said he drinks about 3½ quarts
of milk a day, and eats a pound of almonds and a pound of clarified
butter, which is known as ghee in India.
Doctors confirmed that his wife,
Shankuntala Devi, had a normal delivery -- at age 59. They said the
baby boy is healthy.
Pension records confirm that Raghav is
94.
The title of world's oldest dad was
last set three years ago by another Indian, Nanu Ram Jogi, who
sired his 22nd child at 90.
