I think there's DEFINITELY a correlation between stress and heart problems. I think it was a MAJOR contributor to the difference in life expectancies between men and women in the past. I've noticed that the gap has closed considerably in the last 20 years as women are getting the higher paying, more skilled, higher stress jobs. You lady lawyers and doctors and CEOs are gonna start dropping like flies just like us dudes. People with those jobs probably go to a lot of fancy meals, too, which also probably contribute. Not to mention the drinking and smoking that often goes with them (but those are related back to the stress).

Speaking of which, my wife just got a message from one of the attorneys she works with. It started "Hello Examiner Cadugan, Irv Weiner here." How great is THAT! :D
