Vitamins are good for you, no wait vitamins are bad for you. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20161208-why-vitamin-supplem...

Being fat is bad, no, really being fat is actually perfectly fine. https://qz.com/550527/obesity-paradox-scientists-now-think-t...

That's from Astroturfing by <_INSERT_INDUSTRY_LOBBY_NAME_HERE_>

Every time a real study with facts comes out saying X_____ is bad for you, the Corporations and Special Interest Lobbyists working on behalf of X____ will astroturf the media with "No really, X____ is good for you"

X_____ = Coffee, Diary, Wine, Eggs, Wheat, Soy, Stevia, ..... you get the idea.
