The value of information is proportional to the degree to which it surprises and discomforts you.
Most people are addicted to soothing, entertaining, reaffirming distractions ... actionable information is NOT sweet, tasty, gossipy swill. Actionable information is the kind that makes you think, "Oh crap! I need to crank it up a bit OR maybe even change direction." Information, particularly health or fitness information that makes you feel all nice, warm, fuzzy is, at best, worthless ... it is probably propaganda designed to make you comfortable in the kill chute.
