Not every news article is going to be about some ground breaking research. That researchers are putting these sorts of fad diets to the test is important and knowing the outcome of that is useful. Journalism is about informing people, not entertaining them. If you can't handle being informed without the sensationalism, you may need to seek professional help.

This isn't information to me. One of many diet options does about as well as most other diet options. Really unnecessary. If you can't reading a critique comment without needing to infer the commentor needs professional help whelp then I would say I should write some sarcatic reply about it.
