    It's interesting, but I feel like they were very vague about what supposedly caused the increase in death. What was the specific cause of death? Usage of a medication alone is not enough information in my opinion. What correlations are there between the usage of the medication and increase in mortality in the study population as a whole? Who was the control group for this study? There are a lot of unanswered questions. It would be better to see more research in this.

    Luckily I did not use any PPI's but I can see the concern. Often times there are these flash studies that come out and are later debunked. So honestly, I would wait for more research before being concerned.
