This is an interesting one (referring to the title itself and its broad message, rather than actual details which many will never read) -- because: part of me is happy to see actual research reported, regardless of how positive/negative it is to us as humans, possibly helping to balance out a lot of the (perceived) over-reporting of "x may be the cure to y". Of course, the other part of me is sad, because it likely triggers a lot of people to make false decisions (exercise is a chore to many, including me), and it's super easy to mute that motivation-to-exercise with a quick "I read it's not as healthy as they said it was anyway, so...". Considering the context people will be reading a highly-editorialsed version of this in the form of trashy glam magazines, side-columns and Facebook shares in month's time, that is.
