I disagree. This is a bit like browsing open source repos on github and laughing because of bad algorithms, issues or quick fixes. There is indeed bad medical research. Typically, animal research that focuses on just one marker and then extrapolates on what it means for humans. You should not rely on these. At best, they give you cues on what might work for humans. But there are multiple studies that reviews all medical research. They study 5 million people over 20 years, follow their health as well as their habits. Variables are adjusted. In such studies, if you discover that green tea decreases risk of type 2 diabetes, then evidence is high. Much, much higher than the simple animal research where mice were given green tea. The biggest problem is not medical research. It's the army of bloggers, writers from NYTimes and overall the general population hungry for the latest superfood or cure of cancer. They think that throwing billions of dollars will find a revolutionary food, herb or medicine for cancer. So medical researchers present their results in a way that's pleasing. And then most bloggers are just too guilible. That's amplificated by social media, or even boards like Hacker News (see the upvotes for effect of coffee on mortality yesterday. That study is non-conclusive but the story got hundreds of upvotes. People are just too happy to discover that their daily drink will extend their lifespan, even though evidence is limited)
