If you need someone to tell you whether eggs are going to kill you, then you are beyond help. What you are complaining about is not academia, but the reporting on academia. Most institutions hardly even blink when a study about the health benefits/detriments of eggs, coffee, or the like is published. You’d change my mind, perhaps, if you told me that you actually followed multiple scientific journals.

But if the researchers don't communicate effectively with the rest of us, or with our physicians, then why do they even bother going to work in the morning? It's not my job to read scientific journals, and the doctors are as confused by the barrage of junk science as anyone else.
