> This brought dementia by age 80 and a host of other issues

As someone who suffers an immune disease that simultaneously makes me unable to do strenuous exercise, and is also independently associated with "a host of other issues", comments like this actually make me quite angry. How can you possibly claim this demonstrates cause and effect?

Why shouldn't it, assuming you're trying to conduct serious discourse? I find it to be a huge issue in my life, trying to communicate with people who make unverifiable or false claims is a huge waste of time, not to mention that somehow those falsehoods will be carried on from person to person.
