0:00.0	Coming up on the exam room.
0:03.2	How strong is the connection between diet and Alzheimer's disease compared to genetics
0:09.3	and Alzheimer's?
0:10.3	Well, you know, a decade or two decades ago, we really thought it was all genes and old
0:16.2	age.
0:17.2	If you had the genes and then as you would reach older age, they would start to affect
