ALS affects both men and women but men are 3x more likely to have it.

Are you a hard worker?

Very athletic?

This disease likes people just like that. Athletes, football players, military veterans or personal, fire fighters are several times more likely to develop the disease compared to the general population. 90% of cases is random from the environment, no family history.

Look at a list of people who get this disease, always great people who deserve more, better.

The older you get, the longer you live..... More and more likely you'll get at some point as well.

Headline should always include this, plenty of things are found effective on animal models that end up being worthless in humans. There is no need to overhype anything when it has not yet tested properly on people and according to the info this is going to continue for over a year.
