Per [0] risk factors for dementia are "lower levels of education, high blood pressure, hearing impairment, smoking, obesity, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, and low social contact."

A recreational stimulant often taking in social settings seems to hit a lot of those.

The interesting one is blood pressure. Caffeine would spike it, but I have long wondered if "exercising" the vasculature with transients is a good idea and long-term elevation is the real killer. Like school fire drills.

It is correlation then, not causation. Wouldn’t be surprised if this study was funded by corps. to promote those stimulants, like the Harvard and sugar or red wine everyday studies.

PS: Don’t trust in “no conflict of interest” claims

That is a lot of confidence for a search engine that could be replaced soon with an app.
