If "popular wisdom" on a subject is flawed, wouldn't you want to know about it?

Yes, exactly, and if it's true science, the results should be consistent if given the same set of variables each time...but who do you believe?.....Eggs are bad for you, then, eggs aren't as bad for you as thought,...on and on it goes...So much of it is just "news cycle" driven BS.
I'm all for trying to improve the lifestyle....All I'm saying is I don't trust all these news stories and supposed scientific studies to be true,...they contradict themselves too much. I just want to take them with a grain of salt. (pun intended) I'm a skeptic. There is money behind every one of these so called studies and I'm sure that they're not all un-biased.
Are we supposed to just accept all these studies as truth just because they're printed in a newspaper or on TV?
