I've used 23andMe, and it told me I have twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease when I'm older. Considering that I've lost a few family members to Alzheimer's, it worries the hell out of me. Regardless, this has triggered me to research a bit about the disease and ways of potentially reducing the risk.
It does make you anxious, but when you have that knowledge, you feel the need to do something about it.
- jamesblonde 11y agoI mentioned this to another person in the thread. Worth repeating. Take lots of curcumin every day for the rest of your life. It has been shown to bind to a-beta protein and get cleared from the brain. The overproduction of a-beta causes alzheimers. India, where they consume lots of turmeric (curcumin is an extract from turmeric) has significantly lower incidence (very very low) of alzheimers. You'll be fine.

- jamesblonde 11y agoI linked earlier in the thread. Thanks for the downvote.
- dekhn 11y agoThis is an absurdly irresponsible thing to claim.
