Media and health: Be careful reading simple statements in the media about health. Some of it is valid: tobacco smoking is nothing but bad. But it's usually more complex: believe everything in print and a little wine is both life saving and deadly; a few bites of red meat will cause cancer; "black mold" will wreck your lungs; and so on. Don't blame the website; online experts often disagree, including HealthTap!
