Starts out with "this scientific study says..." brace yourself, you are about to be lied to. Especially if it is trying to poop on something pleasurable.
I remember the article telling me processed meats were going to give me bowel cancer. I don't remember the counter article telling me that first study was really sketchy.
And other people were running with it on the first saying there should be a health insurance surcharge for anyone that eat more than one hotdog and 4 slices of bacon a year. As I was dining on scrapple and corn beef hash every week.
Your local journalist knows as much about journalism as I know what Passenger Pigeon tastes like. The last time I trusted a 'science' article that told me something pleasurable was bad for me was when they said cigarettes might be unhealthy.

Quiet, you! (also, get it? 'baloney' science? snerk!)
