I may have heard that before, but it’s hard to remember where.

Curious as to how making the non-thinking head bigger helps with dementia.

NIH huh ?

They seem to be interested in all things sexual. Wonder if they also supplied Viagra to kiddies.

This same NIH ...

a taxpayer-funded
National Institutes of Health
study recruited boys (and girls who identified as boys) as young as 13 to report their sexual behavior on a mobile app without parental consent. The Washington Free Beacon reports:

NIH-funded

researchers at Columbia University

offer up to $275

to gay and transgender boys, between the ages of 13 and 18, to document their sexual activity on MyPEEPS Mobile, including whether they have “condomless anal sex.

Viagra release nitric oxide into the blood stream where it narrows arteries and cause blood to flow faster.

Eating large amounts of spinach has also shown to do the same thing and actually help distance athletes to improve their times by 3%-5%

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

How much Spinach do you need to see the benefit? The whole can like Popeye?

[Candor7]

Laz, now we know why your mind is so extraordinarily sharp and clear !

[xp38]

But what about the 4 hour thing?

Maybe it’s the sex act itself not the Viagra

[ExSafecracker]

I have heard Viagra is already being used as a treatment for sunburn. So far no sign it cures the sunburn. but it does keep the sheets off your legs.

[Macoozie]

” seek existing drugs that could potentially be repurposed”

So ya can do it for an old man to get a boner, but Hydroxy and Horse Paste are not to be looked at for off-label use, to maybe save millions of lives?

OK. That seems like “Science” to me.

Send the Current Resident a box of viagra.

[ThunderSleeps]

^^^^^-— Is just here to ready witty comments.

[sanjuanbob]

Well, he is a dick, so good idea.

[I want the USA back]

Correlation is not causality, and “associated with” is deliberately confusing. It’s possible that the people who don’t have dementia are more interested in sex than people with dementia. Those who are interested, take viagra. The others have bigger worries and don’t take viagra.

[FatherofFive]

Send the Current Resident a box of viagra.

That would be child abuse.

[larrytown]

Exactly!

A team of researchers ... developed a computational method

A stupid computer (oops, "AI" if we must be trendy) came up with a result from a set of incomplete data. Classic garbage in, garbage out scenario.

[oldasrocks]

Then he would have a place to hang his box of ice cream.

Viagra assists with blood flow - that could help the brain cleanse itself... Viagra’s also a COVID treatment - pushes increase blood flow to lungs.

[John Milner]

So more sex for them, but they will now also remember it.
