What? Milk? Multi-vitamins? Stretching? This stuff is discussed heavily; I do not know enough about these things to weigh in on validity, but if nothing else, these discussions might be very symptomatic.

Media misrepresentation of science does not invalidate science. What about milk, or vitamins or stretching?
