No fucking shit, Sherlock.

Source: Four stents due to 99% blockage at 44. Physically active. No red meat for decades. Always angry.
- Have you tried watching The Hulk?
- I am similar, but I noticed my anger levels plummeted once I got some food intolerances identified and cut those foods out.
  
  I can't have gluten, and I was a beer brewer. I was drinking gallons of poison every year without knowing it. I was always angry, physically tense and in incredible pain.

  Life is a sadistic shithead. Are you brewing gluten-free beer now or did you have to drop the craft altogether?
  
  Same for me. Gluten makes my tummy cramp (painfully), and that in turn makes me angry. For some reason, beer seems to be especially bad (maybe because it's liquid).
- I’d argue that has a lot more to do with genetics and not so much to do with anger.
  
  Sounds like you need statins and not anger management.
  
  Statins would not have helped. My cholesterol was ideal. What got me was stress and anger. They, and their buddy hypertension, create tears in your blood vessels which the body patches up with our organic spackle...cholesterol. Even if your lipid levels are ideal, the core function of cholesterol would still kill you if the core cause of the tearing is not addressed.
Jesus Christ, I should drop any minute now.
Not really surprising imo
Well, that fucking pisses me off.
- No, stop doing that, that's the problem lol
Surprising?
Then why do angry old men like trump or McConnell live to be a hundred?
- Statistics and government funded healthcare.
