I haven't read the whole doc but does it take into account stress or factors that lead to stress?

For example, money problems, dangerous job, working in toxic environments etc.

I reckon we don't put enough "science" into working out the life-extending properties of a non-toxic job and a health bank balance.

FWIW I was diagnosed in September as having stable angina. I eat really healthy, don't smoke or drink, no family history of heart issues, and all my blood work was great. However, I have been under immense stress for the last two years to the point of sleepless nights etc (won't go into the details).

I am convinced it's stress that did it!

Edit: I'm fixed now btw :)
