Another observational study, and the only finding I take these days from observational studies about food items with this much recommendation around them is that the results distinguish between people interested in the latest food advice and people who aren’t.

Yep. Also, this is in the appendix!!! It's like a case study in how not to report on this kind of stuff, from the paper to the media coverage.
