OK, that’s based on several pieces of research, building a narrative from cherry picking the bits needed. It’s impossible to say whether the narrative was decided first and then the evidence was found to attempt to illustrate it or whether it was done properly. In most cases it’s not done properly. The research would take a long time or be impossible to find because they don’t link the research. They instead mention the university and the date omitting the names of the researchers. They mention that one is a cohort study and these often give good data but whether the data indicates the points made in the article or not is another question. Often these kind of articles take liberties with what is said in scientific papers.
As the publication is local to you, I would suggest that you contact them and ask them for details of the research used for the article. If you can’t get that, you can’t verify anything and the best bet is to ignore anything the article says because it’s likely to be a combination of completely misrepresenting, using information out of context, taking questions in the research as opinions or misunderstanding the results and the implications of the results.
To save time, you could just ignore the entire content of the article on the grounds that most of these kinds of articles are bullshit.
