More How to evaluate research studiesThere are many groups of people that need to be more in tune with how to determine if the information that is being provided to them regarding a product or ingredient is factual and valid. Consumers and even more importantly those who write about these natural products should ask themselves a number of questions when they are reading and then evaluating reports regarding research. It is well known in the scientific community that the peer-review process (studies are reviewed by others in the academic community before publication) can help eliminate many concerns about the credibility of a study. Here are a few questions that need to be answered before any research can be accepted as being valid.
