Read on my website. Read time: 3 minutes. Hi Reader My motto has always been evidence matters, but it is not the end. When I read about a new study, I critically review it to ascertain whether it was fairly conducted, whether it was funded, and whether the results apply to the real world. As a lifelong lover of science, I’ll always do my best to give recommendations that are backed by science and grounded in research. Enjoy this week's highlights, and have a lovely rest of your week....
