Nobody expects to live longer and have dementia. People are betting that they will escape that and there's a good probability that they will do. Not to mention that if you are around your 30s or 40s it would be terrible to not care about your general health just to find out in the next 10 or 20 years that science found a cure to dementia but now your body is too much fucked to take advantage of that.

I think we can generalise that statement to "nobody expects to have dementia". Until you get it :/

There are people taking lots of vitamins, but with apologies to any vitamin-takers, that hypothesis seems to have been thoroughly debunked.

For healthy adults, taking multivitamins daily is not associated with a lower risk of death https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/healthy-adults...

Living is risky, yeah, I know it. A lot of it is a fucking gamble, your profession, the place you decide to live, the people you enter relationships with.

Nothing is assured.

Yeah, maybe we will be all unemployable and miserable due to LLMs taking our jobs and failing to create others. Maybe we shouldn't have reproduced as our kids will never get to become adults due to a nuclear war or a fucking serious pandemic with a virus that will make SARS-COV-2 look like nothing.

Who knows?

Cabbage also doesn't work, but what does that have to do with a theory that:

Metformin exerts a substantial neuroprotective effect, preserving brain structure and enhancing cognitive ability.

We obviously want additions or replacements to physical and mental exercise depending on how much we get.
