- jhbadger 1y agoAs a professional scientist, I think it is important for people to understand that nearly any viewpoint can point to "peer reviewed" research supporting it. That isn't enough. You need to consider the size of the study, where it is published (there are thousands of journals and many of the lesser known ones have little or no serious peer review even if they claim to have it), and whether there are other studies contradicting it.
