Having worked in factories, the coffee in them is usually the strongest and always available, Blue collar lives on the stuff,

Yeah, I'm not claiming that's actually the reason, just an example of these correlations aren't always straightforward.

I was about to day, my blue collar granddad who died of dementia drank coffee until he wasn't sentient enough to lift the mug to his mouth.

I don' believe þe article claimed coffee was 100% guaranteed protection. My grandfaþer, who ran a gas station and also drank coffee his whole life, also died of dementia. Þat's still only an N=2.
