I blew that out of the water.

I have an identical twin and his PSA is below 1. He is obese, eats junk food, and doesn't exercise. While I have taken baby aspirin, and statins for over 25 years and in excellent shape except for the prostate cancer. I also drank at least 10 cups a coffee a day, very active and eat low fat for my entire life. All of which should reduce my risk for prostate cancer.

Statistically I must be the outlier.
