Okay fine.  The quintessential example of bad reporting & bad science:

The claim: Lemon wedges in restaurants are full of fecal bacteria from waitresses who have just left the loo, and if you've been using them, you're lucky to be alive.

The reality:

1. All produce has bacteria outside and inside it (the original study mentions this), and all hands will pass on what they have.  
   
2. "Fecal" bacteria (e. coli, referred to as "gram-negative" in the study) are everywhere, even inside us right now! & on our hands, and they don't hurt us unless our defenses are weakened (usually by poor diet) & the source is unnaturally high.  
   
3. Avoiding lemons won't solve anything - the waitresses in the restaurant I worked in made salad with their bare, unwashed hands. 

A few years ago, I heard about a study of Inuit (often called Eskimos) and their eyesight.  It was observed that once compulsory education was introduced, there was an immediate, dramatic increase (from 2% to 50%) in myopia - nearsightedness.  The same thing was observed in fishing villages in Hong Kong.  Wait.  Isn't it hereditary?

I'm way blind.  HUGE coke bottle glasses until they invented a way to make them thinner.  I *hate* being myopic.  I hate that w/o my glasses/contacts I can't read standard text unless it's, quite literally, 2 inches from my nose.  I hate knowing that, in a disaster, I'd probably die as soon as my last pair of glasses/contacts wore out, b/c I'd get eaten by a saber-toothed tiger or something.  I also don't believe for a second that God created over 50% of the population to have defective vision.
