> Every year there's a study that contradicts the last one.

That's from Astroturfing by <_INSERT_INDUSTRY_LOBBY_NAME_HERE_>

Every time a real study with facts comes out saying X_____ is bad for you, the Corporations and Special Interest Lobbyists working on behalf of X____ will astroturf the media with "No really, X____ is good for you"

X_____ = Coffee, Diary, Wine, Eggs, Wheat, Soy, Stevia, ..... you get the idea.
