I read that too. The 6-8 years was a misquote because they knew that wasn't possible, it was an aging disease due to the numerous genetic abnormalities
Actually... Your brain cannot bite through your finger or anyone else's as easily as a carrot. It would take MUCH more force to bite a finger completely off than biting a carrot would, considering you have to bite through way more than you would to bite a carrot- bone, ligaments, "meat," skin, etc. Biting through skin isn't that easy, either- it's like trying to bite through a rubber band.
