What a lame, one-sided story!
I like the blog post by ChildOfAtom regarding the article:
This is a prime example of the new form of sound bite "journalism" that has been so pervasive in the last few years. It just seems like they pick a random topic from a hat, find the worst possible "fact" they can about it, and make a story that really only works in the headline.
"How your slippers can KILL YOU!"
"Why rainbows might CAUSE CANCER!"
"The ingredient in your mom's lasagna that is giving your children ADHD!"
The commercial soundbite draws viewers, but the actual story falls apart as soon as they get past that because the actual story is conjecture... "you might, possibly, maybe get injured by these shoes if your wear them upside down and are standing too close to a wall when the moon passes through the third house of mercury! So be careful!"
