Title isnt misleading. The title literally said what its content contained.

A vegetarian diet carries a certain implication, specifically that we're speaking about such a diet in one person.

"Widespread vegetarian diets among a population could cause changes over time" is wholly different and apparently more accurate.

The implication is subjective.

The title said "A" Vegetarian diet. It never referenced whom, what gender or the scope of the study, so in a literal sense, the title wasnt misleading at all.

I took the implication "A" Vegetarian diet, as in any or all contexts with in a long time period.

"A" implies that the effect would be felt in a singular case.
Not if you know the difference between genotype and fenotype.
And the Venn diagram for the target market of this website excludes those who do.

A title can be literal and be misleading. this is the role of connotation and context.
