Yeah, and you still won’t see any “(fill-in-the-blank) Awareness” campaign for any male disease.

I know I'm being too prickly about this, but I see lots of articles (like this one) which approach Heart Disease this way:
"But youre a fit, healthy guy, right? Why would you die of heart disease? Believe it or not, not every victim of the disease is overweight or inactive.
And what is their recommendation? Well, you should lose weight and begin an exercise program!

Horse patooooty!
The number one killer of men is women!
Always has been .... always will be.
All the rest of the diseases and problems are symptoms...the disease is women.
Period.

1 in 500 people in the United States has
hypertrophic cardiomypathy and may not even know it. Of those, many are at risk for sudden death even without symptoms.

Be wary of the advice of “life or death” doctors, because being surrounded by people who all have the same potentially lethal condition can psychologically affect their doctor as well.
For example, if you look at a group of heart surgeons, often the first thing that pops into mind is, “These guys don’t look very healthy!”
This is because they have strongly altered their behavior to become more “heart healthy”, to the detriment of everything else. Often they tend to exercise too much, eat lots of weird and non-nutritious food while shunning healthy protein and fat, and do other things that while good for their *patients* is not so good for a healthy person.

23andme just lowered their fee to 99 bucks. You get an awful lot for that money, including multiple genomic disease risks, drug/genomic data and ancestry. Disclaimer: I have NO financial interest (or any other link) with this company.
The info could be helpful to you in a number of ways (e.g., where to put your preventive efforts and disease-screening attention).
