Reply to comment by smart_stable_genius_ in "Green Mediterranean diet” high in polyphenols and fiber can reduce that visceral fat. After 18 months, those subjected to the diet saw a visceral fat reduction of 14 percent; eaters of the Mediterranean Diet saw a 7 percent drop. Visceral fat among “healthy eaters” was reduced by 4.5 percent by Wagamaga

The title of the thread contains 1 (one) editorialized sentence that accurately describes part of the results of the paper linked in the thread. The title includes 4 other sentences that are not editorialized in any way.

You're complaining about 1 (one) a sentence that is not even the opinion of OP, rather just a rewording of the authors' conclusion to make it more palatable to broad audiences.

Looking at the front page of /r/science right now, every single thread has an editorialized title to make it more accessible.

You're grasping at straws

It's literally against the subs rules to do exactly what they did.

I'm not grasping at anything. The title of the post should be the title of the study, period. I didn't post the original complaint, so it's not just me. Nobody wants someone's swayed portrayal of what the study is about when an actual factbased title is already available and required. It's a gratuitous spin and it's unnecessary.
