I noticed the same thing, but this makes me more concerned: the link has nih.gov in it. Usually when I read articles from that URL, I tend to put a bit more trust in them than say healthline.org or some blogspam or something like that. Does this mean I have to start taking nih.gov articles with a grain of salt too?

Yes. Blindly trusting any source is just another fpavor of ignorance.

do i start with the same level of distrust when reading something on nih.gov and healthline.com?

The UK NIH unfortunately has a reality ignoring relationship with "homeopathy" and other "alternative" medicines, up to and including the current king being a vocal Proponent of using more alternative medicine to reduce costs and improve health.

It's not great.

Probably some powerful/connected 'teach the controversy' snake-oil peddlers forced the NIH to publish this. At least they were able to segregate the woo off into it's own section.
