Cholesterol Highs and Lows

"Your good cholesterol is crazy good!" the PA told me at my physical. 

I may have puffed up a bit, because she continued, "That's good genetics." 

And when I deflated, because I hadn't actually accomplished anything, she added, "You could have genetically bad cholesterol, though, and you don't."

She did recommend a baseline cardiac plaque CAT scan, which I had the next day. And when I got those results back, zero percent, perhaps one of the few tests in the world where that score is the best, I wondered if I could take any credit for that!
