Fwiw - I have been told since I was in my twenties that I have high blood pressure and really need to do something about it, and was given a list of threats of what would happen to me.

I never did anything about it. I am now 73, and from what I can tell I am far healthier than I would be if I had been taking blood pressure meds all those years.

I still see the warnings and how it's EXTRA SUPER IMPORTANT especially if you're older... the threats just don't have teeth anymore.

Same with the threats of how it's SUPER IMPORTANT to get a colonoscopy...
