New red dwarf count and He-4 abundance

[TrickyDicky]

Does the new estimate on the number of red dwarf stars in the universe suggest a different proportion of He/H? (current helium abundance estimate is 24%)
Would it be lower since more mass would be tied up in low-mass stars (like red dwarfs) in which He/H<0.24.?
If not, how many more times should the number of low-mass stars be increased to have some influence on the proportion He/H of the universe?

Bah, how many red dwarfs do you need to disprove the LCDM model? Hint - vast numbers of red dwarf stars do not do the trick any more than even more vast numbers of brown dwarfs previously postulated. Optical peaks in the CMB have long since ruled out these conjectures.

My question was specific enough not to be answered with doctrine, but rather with current knowledge about stellar helium nucleosynthesis.
