In this episode, we will go over three articles describing the affect genetics play on cardiovascular disease, as well as sleep's mitigating role. We will also discuss how non-HDL cholesterol affects heart disease risk. Finally, we briefly discuss a study on extreme sugar consumption and its impact on male fertility.
