References can be tricky. Peer reviewed studies are the type of research to consider. Even still, one needs to evaluate each study to determine its validity.
- Does the data represent statistically significant information?
- Are the authors qualified?
- Is there an agenda with the study or is there room for unbias results?
- Was the study conducted in an ethical and fair way?
- Were the study’s method and design appropriate?
- What are the weakness to the study; are they compensated for or considered?
Evidence based information is what will be presented on this site. If an idea is presented there will be a reference to a peer reviewed study it came from. Papers referenced were considered fair and therefor sited. Websites that present scientific papers are available to the public. Get the latest information; stay informed; enjoy the search. PubMed.com is a very user friendly example. Greater demand for truth about health, nutrition, and healing will produce more funds. Research funds are needed to do the tedious work to prove truth.
