      They aren’t known to cause anything. A study showed a correlation, but that doesn’t mean causation.

      At this point working in psychiatry I’ve lost count of the number of things that cause dementia. Some part of my body is gonna break down first and I haven’t decided which part I’m least afraid of yet, but when I do the solution is probably just going to be doing more of whatever will help it beat dementia to the punch.
