The subject of the post seems attractive but it's only true for mice and flies as yet. We should not get excited about it as other treatmentswhich worked well in animals didn't prove it's worth for humans. However we should always remain hopeful

This should translate into human consider it was observed in human first then validated using mice.

Also calcium in soft tissue is a major concern for cardio events. Calcium buildup in the heart is one cause and determining calcium level has been the most reliable test to determine one's chance of having a heart attack.

Wonder if the calcium score (?) could be use as another indicator for PD and other brain related diseases.
