I am approximately cynical enough to suggest "the LessWrong community likes debunking" as a reason.
Is it worth 49 points? Almost certainly not. This indicates a flaw with the karma system, not a flaw in the post.
Absolutely. It's worth the 59 points that it is at now. How science, and health related science in particular is used poorly is valuable information.
Another possible explanation: LW clientele likes topics related to survival & life extension. Without turning this into a health discussion group I find these broad strokes of how to think about medical information very valuable.
