New research suggests that children under two who are given less sugar have about a fifth lower dementia risk. Does cutting sugar that early protect the brain or is the study picking up another hidden factor?
Edit: If I understand correctly, you use causality in the physics sense, meaning just that something happens after something else (accounting for the speed of light). It seems that in almost all contexts, the two terms are synonyms.
I call bullshit. Didn’t read the paper but:
How you are going to know about the sugar intake? Trust me bro.
Causality!=causation
“More research is needed to better understand the potential relationship between sugar intake and the development of dementia." 👍
There is a strong correlation between diabetes and dementia. Known for decades.
Glucose metabolism is a lazy inefficient way to make ATP, with toxic metabolic products seen to damage brain DNA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causation?wprov=sfla1 - basically all disambiguation targets assume the terms are equivalent.
I’ll just assume the second word (or the first, doesn’t matter) should have been “correlation”. It doesn’t make sense otherwise.
