People say, "Oh, Alzheimer's is genetic garbage." That genetic component is only 5%. So that means 95% of Alzheimer's risk is environmental air pollution, microlastics, ultrarocessed food.

When you got eyes on this new research, what struck you. >> Yeah, so for a long time, Morgan, we've known that there is a genetic risk that you can test for, a gene called the APO E4 gene. I'll just refer to it as the APO gene.It gives you a higher risk of Alzheimer's. And more and more people are getting that checked out. What we always have tried to figure out though is does a genetic risk automatically translate to a clinical risk.Can you have the gene and can you overcome the clinical possibility of dem ...

[Music] [Applause] Today I have a confession and I wonder if you've ever done this too. Picture this. You're out at a cool restaurant and by cool I mean loud.Your friend says something and you don't quite catch it.
