I ended up learning I supposedly have a 40.1% chance of getting Alzheimer's Disease. It hid the result and asked me if I really wanted to know. I am not sure who in their right mind would not want to know (though maybe that is my Alzheimer's talking). Such a thing would drive someone crazy.
I have just kept living my life the way I have been. It was scary at first. At least I know I ought to eat right etc...

Capsules - not just curries (it's an extract from turmeric).
