I would like to point out, the NYT is a reputable news site but cannot even remotely be trusted with medical information/recommendations. I can’t tell you the last time I read a medical news piece from any source (and the NYT is the primary place I get my news) that I couldn’t read it and say “well that’s a gross oversimplification” or worse “this is blatantly misrepresenting the scientific author’s conclusions”. Holding up the NYT as a source of medical/scientific truth is just demonstrating how scientifically illiterate you really are.
