Endocrinologist Discovers Potential New Ways To Prevent Cognitive Decline From Alzheimer’s Disease

I’d like to know what this means, though. I take omega-3 fatty acid supplements:

It has been proven that APOE4 oxidizes omega-3s and that low levels of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. In earlier studies, Yassine’s team found that cognitively healthy participants who took omega-3 supplements had 200 percent more DHA in their blood compared to the control group and 28 percent more in the cerebrospinal fluid, a measure of brain uptake. However, APOE4 carriers had lower increases in brain DHA and EPA than non-carriers after supplementation.
