Coffee cures cancer... no, it causes cancer... it cures cancer, but only when drank with half a tablespoon of wine... but wine causes cancer... no cures it... no it does both but only with chocolate... chocolate cures cancer... no it causes cancer... no it... and so on and so forth....

This half-assed, sensationalistic reporting of studies that are completely insignificant outside of a specific case in their respective fields causes so much harm when it comes to the trust of people in science.
