Well, will it stay that way forever? Also from my dad's experience it was 10 years before we realized there was anything wrong. Everyone acts like it will be noticeable but it isn't always. My dad hid his problems by being quiet.
The human body is insanely complicated. I suspect strongly we currently only know for sure about 5% of what goes on.
I will give you an example. I have "O" Blood type and I suspect that makes me healthier. There are many studies on the books that show O has health effects. So like high sugar makes for thicker blood, but, O blood is thiner so I could eat more sugar than most before I would have ill effects from thicker blood. It is very possible he could have 1 or zillion things about him that would be protective.
