    There’s a reason peer reviewed studies are so important.

    It’s literally other people with knowledge on the subject questioning the results of a study until everyone agrees to the conclusion.

    It’s not just one person pulling something out of their ass and saying “Look! This thing!” and everyone just going along with it. It’s questioned and proven multiple times.

      There are many peer reviewed studies subsequently retracted. The problem is most journals do not value the expertise or time of reviewers. Not a perfect system.
