Any news article about a new medical research finding should be read with Peter Norvig's advice on interpreting research studies at hand.

The autnor of the submitted article (Harriet Hall) is well aware of such issues, and raises many of them in this blog post. Her longer presentation on interpreting medical research

is well worth a read.
