Yerba mate
On my talk page, you said: ''I'm just following up on the edits to the Yerba Mate article, namely on the topic of weight loss. The current citations are from 2005, and there has been significant work on the topic since. I agree the current data on the topic is not fantastic, but perhaps we could at least provide updated citations, namely the following article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4583719/, which does show a decreased hip-waist ratio, among other outcomes. The quality of the study, as well as the clinical significance of the results, are questionable, but I think it is an important addition to the Wiki article.''

Although the existing sources are from 2004-5, they are systematic reviews, which are the highest quality of evidence for health-related content - see WP:MEDASSESS. The source you suggest above is considered primary research, as it is an unconfirmed finding in only 15 subjects and was published in an alternative medicine journal (low-quality, not meeting MEDASSESS). It is not a suitable reference. The version of the article section on weight loss is adequate as stated.

Good luck in your Wikipedia editing! Zefr (talk) 04:48, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
