Australian actor Chris Hemsworth recently announced that he plans to take time off acting after discovering that he has a genetic risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Headlines screamed of the “shocking revelation” and an “ominous health warning” from the genetic test results, which found that Hemsworth’s DNA contains two copies of the APOE4 gene.
