No blushing required. It's an important concept that purveyors of attention-getting scientific studies, and the media which reports them, deliberately gloss over. In this case, the underlying numbers were there so we could easily calculate the real impact. But often articles scream about how "X increases the risk of Y type of cancer by 10%", deliberately leading average readers to imagine that this means 10 more out of every 100 people they know will get cancer Y if they do/eat X, when in fact cancer Y may only strike one in ten thousand people who don't do/eat X, and a 10% risk increase would mean an additional one out every HUNDRED THOUSAND people would be stricken if all 100,000 of them did/ate X.
