Poor science journalism. The joke that depending on the day of the week coffee is 'scientifically' either the best or worst thing in the world is what's killing trust in science. Most people aren't reading or hearing what scientists say directly, they're hearing cut up overly summarized tidbits or reading a clickbaiting journalist's interpretation of a paper that most of the time the journalists don't even consider to be worth linking to.
