MY ENTIRE POST IS CORRECT BUT IS IN REFERENCE TO THE WRONG WEBSITE. I CONFUSED PUBMED WITH WEBMD. My apologies.

I'm leaving the post itself intact so y'all can see how easy it is to confuse facts, even among people who spend hours doing actual fact-checking. A simple incorrect reference can send people into a tirade. In this case, it was a pretty significant error on my part.


Those are almost all summaries of studies. If you want to see the peer-reviewed double-blind studies IN FULL you have to be a paid subscriber.

ANYONE can upload a study to ***pubmed***. You can upload a hypothesis that peanutbutter can cure acne if smeared on the entire body and left for 24 hours a day, once every three weeks, for three years.

It doesn't make it a valid study, but hey someone will click on it and maybe you'll get famous.


***PUBMED IS NOT THE WEBSITE I WAS THINKING OF WHEN I SAW AND RESPONDED TO THE PREVIOUS POST. WEBMD IS THE UNRELIABLE SITE.***
