Lotta researcher degrees of freedom there. @GidMK
"consumption of >6 cups/day was associated with 53% higher odds of dementia." Well, yes - taking more stimulants is the plan for what to do when my dementia starts, to make up for my declining faculties. It worked for Erdős.
They did do a 4 year lag analysis to assess reverse causality to be fair. (Though tbh I haven't looked at the structural outcomes, only dementia. It's very very hard for me to think of anything I care less about than brain size changes)
Yes, for example, women's brains are smaller than men's, and I am repeatedly disappointed to discover that very many women are smarter than me.
TBH I was disappointed in how fair this study was. I'd been raging about food epi in popular media for weeks on my stream and this got submitted. I was /so/ ready to take a lead pipe to it but it was... actually not bad. (I only did the dementia outcomes though).
Took out the lead pipe, met with steel armour
