But I don't think you can say there are enough studies leading to an overall conclusion that PPIs do NOT have anything to do with dementia. What I think you're saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the studies you're citing are saying they don't and that they are better than the one cited recently and about which there is so much discussion.

So in other words, there are a few better studies than this one.

The problem is that in medicine, science, academia, etc., we never depend on one or two studies for anything. It's the accumulation of what many studies over a long period of time shows.

So what I would ask you is: are you saying there are enough long-term studies that show PPIs do not have anything to do with dementia or are simply saying there are a few studies that are better than this one?
