>I would never want to put end users in situations where they might harm themselves by taking a pill daily based on a poorly worded headline on a tech website. Good luck to you and your new aspirin regimen, though!

People who would do that because of some single paper (most don't replicate anyway), without checking with a doctor, and taking into account general consensus on the matter, are going to do shit like that anyway, this individual headline wont make any difference.

Ah, yes, the excuse that individual actions don't matter in the larger scheme of the world. Dismissing things is convenient when you don't want to think about them anymore.
