The website is not a science blog, but just a dude interpreting a health paper.

Maybe they're right. Or not. I frequently find these people cherry pick whatever they want. Or worse, the paper is just a small sample and not yet ready for society... But news pounce on it because it's "trendy".

But right now, this website doesn't have a reputation that I trust, and put them in the same category as a health blogger who recommends shoving avocados in your butt to look more youthful.

Edit: this was also posted on the "News" Lemmy instance group. I'm surprised they also identified the BS that I smelled when I read this. Come on Science... Do better.
