There are many thousands of studies, just like this one, that imply correlation, but not causation and fail to properly account for confounding factors. Occam's razor implies this is more likely to be yet another study that fails to account for X of these factors.
This doesn't mean the future of science is in jeopardy. It just means more study is required and jumping to alter policy or make decisions based upon these studies, well, requires further study! :P
