In a study published in the journal Neuron, the scientists report that when A-beta is made, a small bit of protein is also released that can regulate cholesterol levels in the brain. The discovery adds weight to the less prominent theory that abnormal brain cholesterol metabolism plays a role in the mental decline seen in Alzheimer’s patients.

I think I’ll go have a bowl of Cheerios with an oatmeal chaser. Hey, even if it turns out not to be true, low cholesterol won’t hurt us.
