when it comes to heart disease, right?

If this is a well-established, high cholesterol is bad for heart function.

I mean, some people argue with it, but generally it's accepted that high cholesterol is bad for you.

So let's say I do a blood test on you and you have high cholesterol.

But just because you have high cholesterol, it doesn't mean you're gonna have a heart attack.

In order to have a heart attack, you have to have high cholesterol, you have to have a sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, obesity, smoking, poor diet,

A whole lot of things have to come together in order for you to have a heart attack.

The cholesterol by itself would not necessarily cause heart attack if this is the only risk factor you have.

So imagine you get a cholesterol level and you see that your cholesterol is high and that you're gonna get a heart attack.

Of course, with cholesterol, we have so many medications to lower it.

When it comes to plaques and tangles, the lifestyle interventions, early studies have shown that you can reduce the levels and there are some new drugs that are potentially helpful, but there are no standard guidelines of what to do with these things.

And there's no standard guidelines that shows that if you have high tau levels and you do this, this, this, this, your tau levels will drop.

The same way we have for cholesterol.

I think that kind of information will become available 10 years from now.

We need more specific guidelines.

Yes.

But let me give you an example.

I recently talked with someone who is 62 years old.

He's fit as he can be.

He's doing everything right.
