Doing research is no guarantee that you'll come to the correct conclusion. For thousands of years, people treated serious illnesses with leeches, bloodletting, branding, ingestion of liquid mercury, and so forth. These treatments did not do any good, and in fact they did harm. If people stop being skeptical and calling out bullshit for what it is, then those days will return. The mainstream media have been very irresponsible in this regard, reporting on a lot of highly questionable studies on small numbers of people as if they were incontrovertible truth.
