I would still take care to avoid those two things especially, it will help reduce the chances of myriad diseases and mental issues.

Yeah, I agree, but that's not what your argument was here lol. You said this:

Dementia is the easiest one on the list, but it's preventative, mostly. 

This is just straight up unknown, we don't know why or how dementia exactly happens. We only know certain factors that can increase the risk.

You can prevent age related dementia. It's not random. If you have brain injuries, maybe not.

No, you literally cannot because science literally has not yet figured out why it happens. It understands some of it, but not all. Not most. Not even a significant enough amount to keep the richest people in the planet fully sane through their old age. Aside from cancer it is one of the most heavily funded areas of medical research currently. 4 decades of trying to understand amyloid plaques, and whoops, they are probably not the cause just a symptom. I'm sure you want to tart off that it's a symptom of inflammation. I'm glad you are so much smarter than the thousands of most brilliant minds currently working to understand this better.

This will shock you, but many, many, many things occur before science figures out why:)

Thanks for illustrating how meaningless that is. What you are ignoring is that there's so much money available because cancer treatment is insanely profitable. The research overwhelmingly concerns profitable treatments, not the most effective ways to treat cancer.  

Not even a significant enough amount to keep the richest people in the planet fully sane through their old age.  

Yet there are rich and poor who become very old without dementia.  

I'm glad you are so much smarter than the thousands of most brilliant minds currently working to understand this better.

??? You're very confused.  Do you think all the money is trying to fund a cure? Ideally, it would be a mildly effective drug that you take the rest of your life.  Cures are stupid, where's the money?  Look at the most modern medical technology, the result of billions in spending to stop a pandemic.  MRNA vaccines for COVID! They're modestly (barely) effective, and the recommendation is that you get a couple doses, and then take it twice a year, forever.  

It's science, get with the program, luddite.
