It’s worth being careful with claims like that. Dementia and Alzheimer’s didn’t suddenly appear in the 1970s; diagnosis, longer lifespans, and better reporting changed dramatically around that time. When people live longer, age-related neurodegenerative diseases become more visible. That doesn’t mean environmental or lifestyle factors should be ignored—but it does mean the trend isn’t proof of a single hidden cause. Complex diseases usually come from a mix of genetics, aging, medical advances, and modern risk factors, not one secret event.

I said "sudden rise." They have experienced a very significant incline in recent decades have they not? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the statistics on this

Yup. Better be careful when making claims about life saving advice /s.

I mean eating natural animals fats that other animals will eat instead of something that literally nothing will eat even if you leave it out in the yard is probably a safe, intuitive way to not let our own over analysis be our downfall.

Sometimes things are just that simple. If nothing else will eat it, there’s probably a reason. Don’t have to dedicate years of study to make a decision.

I've had arguments with doctors about this and when I mentioned the arbitrary setpoint of cholesterol level they shut the hell up. It pisses me off that these doctors know this, but prescribe statin anyways.
