ok, now do the proper controlled study comparing coffee to any other stimulant.

Stimulants like caffeine improve scores in cognition assays. Another 💩 study.

The primary outcome was dementia, which was identified via death records and physician diagnoses.

If caffeine has enough of an effect to change a diagnosis or death record, that seems worth reporting in any case.

And while it might be worthwhile to see if other stimulants have a similar effect, does it affect these results one way or the other?

Maybe 100% of the positive-caffine-outcome people also snorted 100mg of adderall every morning?
