It basically is...
A good practice is to check who funded the given study. Look under acknowledgements.
In this case, it was Zespri International Ltd. "the world’s largest marketer of kiwifruit"
The purported benefits claims are from self-assessment phone surveys..

Self reported surveys are not exactly the pinnacle of accurate science.

So, I use the Newsbreak app because it has articles from some local news sources, and I haven't bothered to set up an RSS feed with those sources.
That said, the "Newsbreak Originals" are flaming hot garbage with AI-generated content, outdated news, insane religious or pseudoscience bunk, and other nonsense.
If possible, the mods of this community should consider automatically filtering out posts from this domain.
