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!!
