Coffee is good! / Coffee is bad! Eggs are good! / Eggs are bad! Each new study, offers the media a chance to spin the story into something that will get eyeballs on advertising rather than providing the public with reliable information. After all, who wants to wait a couple of decades before a trustworthy body of peer-reviewed, double-blind, placebo-based and randomized trials yields a generally-accepted consensus?
I have a fun conspiracy about all that. I believe all those good/bad food stories are planted to impact consumption. Potato harvests down: proliferate the potatoes cause migraines fallacy. Excess coffee harvest: Coffee cures herpes stories everywhere. So, next time you see a story like that, check the harvests.
Also, I ate a ton of magic mushrooms when I was a kid, so I'm gonna live forever! :D
