The Mirror is a truly crappy tabloid in the UK so I wouldn't care too much about what they say. It's only a few pegs less than the Daily Mail, which also likes to highlight moral outrage at anything new that could be used for anything illicit.

If someone invented a new type of low calorie cake they'd print articles about how those cakes are gateway cakes to bigger, fattier, heart disease promoting cakes, that are also destroying teenagers psychology and turning women into prostitutes.

Ignore them.
