The Presidential Aorta
I was a bit surprised by this whole Bill Clinton quadruple bypass thing. I mean, he's not known for being incredibly fit, but he's never struck me as incredibly unfit either, and he's fairly young. Then in reading an article about it, I see this:
So he was previously in good health, but had borderline cholesterol and blood pressure, and then went on a low-carb diet. How interesting.
It's a scary thing, and I hope he's OK. So far, 2004 has just not been the year to be a former president.
Clinton, 58, has been in good health with no known history of heart problems. A medical report in January of 2001 showed he had an above-normal cholesterol level and borderline high blood pressure.
...
Since leaving office, Clinton has lost weight and he told talk show host Oprah Winfrey that he had gone on the South Beach diet.

Woah, interesting. I remember in 2000 that Gore was on the "Zone diet" at which point I thought "what a dumbass."
This is particularly telling given the "latest study" that says after a year Atkins can cause problems. But, I dunno, maybe he just had too much salt?

i'm just amazed that you consider "58" to be 'fairly young.' the dude is practically in his sixties. that's not exactly young - that's senior citizen discount time.
Thank you!
