This is not directly my field, but in general I've found that many, many articles (and not just free-daily-rags, but also from reputable magazines and news sites) always seem to inflate every scientific achievement, where some minor discovery (still worth a published article) is presented as "new cure for cancer found!", and even worse if some well-known substance is used (eg. caffeine makes medicine delivery faster), the title would say "coffee cures cancer!". And not just medicine... just look at the number of "new, 10.000x better battery discovered" articles posted here.
