I feel like this is one area where clickbait media has pushed things backwards. Everyone wants the clicks so facts from studies get skewed into binary results when its most always shades of gray. If I see a study and it shows that you may be slightly less likely to get alzheimers if you drink green tea every day, but only on the order of half a percent or so, I dont have a magic cure all to alzheimers. But you will see news headlines "Green Tea cures alzheimers! and may even be effective for ED!" Maybe we shouldnt rise against statistical significance and push back on incorrect dissemination of the results?
