I wonder how much money was spent to gain this totally irrelevant toilet load of data?

These days everybody talks about TV news's trend towards sensationalism, but the trend that bothers me more is towards reporting completely insignificant health studies as if they're, well, news. You could watch a whole week of it and hear on Monday that wine is good for your heart, then on Tuesday that wine is bad for your heart, then on Wednesday that eggs are good for your heart, then on Thursday that eggs are bad for your heart, then on Friday that eight glasses of water a day is good for you, then on Saturday that eight glasses of water a day is bad for you. With press like this, modern medicine has more plot twists than Days of Our Lives. I don't know how anybody can keep up, especially since each study's conclusion seems to be A) negligible in its effect on an individual's health since it reflects a slight overall trend, and B) highly correlative instead of causative.
