I think recessional's comment aptly addressed the issues from the article.
Everything in life has its problems but it's how we deal with them that makes all the difference.
News-articles generally tend to do a fair bit of fearmongering for things that are supposed to be good/healthy. I think they take it to such an extreme that it seems silly.
It's like saying everyone should be wary of sleep because some people suffer from sleep apnea. Or have died in their sleep. Or any other ailment that happens from sleeping.
Yes, if you have an underlying condition, you need to be careful. You need to take care of yourself, but that doesn't exclude you from partaking in things that can have an overall good effect on you.
It's not about taking it from one extreme to the other.
