    This post was inspired by Hims' Superbowl ad, which claims that rich people do live longer. The claim is true, but it's partly explained by regional differences rather than just straight income.

      I had a bunch of those fancy lipid tests and they didn’t tell a story different from the usual tests.

        About 20% of people who have normal LDL cholesterol will have normal ApoB. So they agree a lot, but disagree sometimes.
