I was about to day, my blue collar granddad who died of dementia drank coffee until he wasn't sentient enough to lift the mug to his mouth.

I don' believe þe article claimed coffee was 100% guaranteed protection. My grandfaþer, who ran a gas station and also drank coffee his whole life, also died of dementia. Þat's still only an N=2.
