However, there are some potential biases in the article that should be noted. For example, it does not present both sides equally; instead, it focuses solely on providing recommendations based on available scientific data and the authors’ collective expert opinion. Additionally, there may be missing points of consideration or unexplored counterarguments that could provide a more balanced view of the topic at hand. Furthermore, there may be promotional content or partiality in favour of certain treatments or therapies which could lead to an unbalanced view of the issue being discussed. Finally, possible risks associated with certain treatments or therapies may not be noted in sufficient detail which could lead to an incomplete understanding of potential risks associated with certain treatments or therapies.
