New blood test for detecting Alzheimer's disease and pre-memory loss show lower level of lipids is a causal factor.
What is Lipid?
Any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K). They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
The pros and cons are at the level of the End-user. It is whether the customer wants to know. Until and unless there is a cure soon, the question becomes why would you want to know for some. Also, the blood test will not be available for a period in the near future. How near? Not known.
Some wound say it allows planning options. Some would say it opens the door wider to knowledge about the growing disease and allows research for a cure. Additionally, the test was done on older patients. The question become, when did the low lipids start? Is it genetic? Is it environment? Is it racial? Is it centered in one gender over another?
Therefore, additional tests and research is needed. This includes younger subjects - even babies.
