Is "Nutrients" a reputable journal? Do the authors have a good track record? I have no idea, but would love if someone more knowledgeable here can comment.
There's lots of negative press about the journal it's published in.

Further, the paper is published by employees of Abbot Nutrition who financially benefit from the conclusions of the paper. "Conflicts of Interest - The authors S.R.H. and M.W. are employed by Abbott Nutrition. "
That's not to say it's right or wrong, but i didn't know any of the above until i googled to respond to your comment.

I know YOShInOn ingests a lot of articles from MDPI journals, more than any other source. The report I have at my fingertips now is "bottom scoring" articles by my preference and MDPI papers feature prominently in that but that's not because I never like anything from MDPI or because the quality of articles is necessarily bad but because I'd certainly downvote "Vaccinatiopn In Immunosuppressed Patients With Established Skin Warts and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer: A Single-Institutional Cohort Study". It still shows me quite a few. ArXiv papers rank better overall but that's because I only subscribe to CS on arXiv.

It's actually a high priority for YOShInOn to have some process to track down links from articles like this that link to scientific articles because sometimes the original article is a better link than the recap and sometimes the other way around.
We've long passed the point where we can trust papers written in the field of nutrition without looking extremely critically at their funding and research methods.
