Green Tea Cure's HIV? I don't think so...

Well, I found this article from this website http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/healthnews.php?newsid=66540. According to the report, epigallocatechin gallate from green tea stops or at least slows down the spread of HIV infection. Off course, this article claims that drinking green tea probably will not prevent HIV infections, at least not at the level an average person consumes. Why do I find this article interesting? It's another example of useless reporting. I'm so tired of the scientific community publishing these researches that intentionally or unintentionally give uneducated or desperate people false hope. I don't know who to blame, the media or the researchers. While it is true that their research is based on facts, but these kinds of studies are often not repeated by other researchers. They are also too early to claim anything substantial. Why is it even necessary to report this finding other than to mislead the generally ignorant public? The trend seems that our culture embrace this kind of study that either give an excuse or a miracle cure for our problems. It's like Americans just won't admit that they need to drop the cheese burger and exercise or disciplining their children instead of blaming their failure as parents to "mental disease". All in all, I think our modern medicine is moving to towards a dark age driven by politics and sprinkled with magical discoveries.
