Diet - Eggs or no eggs?

Well Jeff, DNA cannot be overlooked. My mother suffered from dementia in the last 12 yrs of her life of 98 years.
She had an arteriogram with contrast to see of her cognitive issues were due to low blood flow to the brain caused by atherosclerotic plaque, cholesterol, etc.
The vascular specialist told me she had the cerebral arteries of a 16 yr old - clear and smooth. He said it must be from her diet.
I never told him that my mother’s preferred dinner was Triscuits topped with dried Italian sausage and provolone cheese followed by about 10 cigarettes before bedtime.
Obviously something happened in transcription and I did not get that genetic sequence which protects against cancer and atherosclerosis.
But I did get the genetic traits for her big nose, poor vision and varicose veins…thanks MOM!!

This conversation will soon be moot because eggs will cost $500 apiece 😃 (sorry, couldn't resist)

Something doesn’t compute.

“due to low blood flow to the brain caused by atherosclerotic plaque, cholesterol, etc.
The vascular specialist told me she had the cerebral arteries of a 16 yr old - clear and smooth. He said it must be from her diet.”

Now, how can one brain guy say she has brain arteries of a 16-year-old and the other say she’s got Arteriolosclerosis, plaque and cholesterol in her brain. Plaque in the arteries is what causes them to get clogged up, They can’t be clear and smooth and have plaque!

My mother gave me BRCA2, thanks is right!

Not sure if you read that correctly (?). The vascular doc said her arteries were clear - NOT clogged with plaque, etc. He intimated that they must be clear because of her “good diet”. They were trying to determine if the dementia was caused by low blood flow - and it wasn’t.
And I will take the big nose, etc. over BRCA2 any day!!
