It is not really necessarily "wrong". It is just "blown way out of proportion". For example, BBC did an article on how they say chocolate is good for you, because it contains antibodies that help boost the immune system of the consumer, but they exaggerated too much and said that it might even be better for you than vegetables. Whereas chocolate does contain antibodies, it is only found in dark chocolate due to its high cocoa content and only contains the amount of antibodies found in one or two grapes. Scientists DO research and study topics, but it is the media that reports them.

Health experts are people. People are not perfect. A health expert can be wrong, just like a pilot can be wrong, a hairdresser can be wrong, or a waiter can be wrong. People just make mistakes sometimes.
