On the other hand, there's nothing to stop your post from spelling out (in full) an article's citation details, per standard academic practice. This would be helpful in a way that empty reference to "this latest study" is not; the original article could be accessed through any university library to which a reader has subscriber rights.

At the end of the study, the average fibre content of the high fiber diet was 15.7 g per day versus 18.7 g per day on the low GI diet. This difference is not significantly different in either the statistical or clinical sense. In fact, neither is particularly high in fibre ... most people consider 30 g per day as 'high'.
