This is one reason why the general public misunderstands science: misleading headlines. For example, Google "olive oil is as good as viagra" and see how many headlines say almost exactly that, which implies that if you take a spoonful of olive oil you'll be sporting wood in 30 minutes. The actual article, however, says, "A study of 660 men with an average age of 67 found that those that adopted a Mediterranean style diet – rich in fruit and vegetables, legumes, fish and nuts, as well as olive oil – had far fewer problems in between the sheets..." In fact, the scientific paper on which the article was based was more specific: "...substituting olive oil for butter..."
But of course, nobody wants to see a headline telling them that a healthy diet is good for you, so a "journalist" (and I use that term generously) comes up with some click-bait headline that implies a quick fix, and a million other "journalists" latch onto it.
