This article covers the work of one paper recently published in very high impact journal. It is clearly laid out, providing an understandable although not very in-depth description of the study methods and results. Whilst the study being described itself is cited, alongside NHS sugar guidelines, other studies eluded to in the text are not cited. As this article is talking about one specific, very recent paper and its results there are no other papers presented that support or contradict the findings.
