This is great.

We also all have the wrong idea of how to prevent death. Chronic disease avoidance should be #1, but we all treat that like it’s luck of the draw and that things like terrorism prevention and gun control will have a bigger impact on our lifespan.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of both of those things, but it is not going to have as big of an impact on a population level as cutting out cholesterol and saturated fat from our daily diets and reducing stress.
