So this is a time in which you've got to look at what are these different drivers and whether, so what'll happen with the statins? Yes, you lower the inflammation, which by the way, you can do with other things. You don't need statins to do that. But you also lower the support for the brain. You lower the cholesterol. And to be fair, you make some in the brain as well.

But if you use a statin, if you have to do that, and we recommend you do other things first. There are things like Zetia and Bergamot and just changing your diet and exercise. A lot of things you can do before you ever need statins. And there are also things beyond. PCSK9 inhibitors can be even better than this.
