4. Pubmed plug of the day- your free key to unlock reasearch

Published in peer reviewed scientific journals: add the term pubmed to any medical search. You’ll see abstracts with citation numbers. Sometimes you’ll be able to read the whole article. The first link below is like that.

These links below just show the title and the link. To read the abstract hit the link or go find what you need. “Pubmed hot dog fingers viagra” , “ pubmed partisan republicans early dementia”, etc.

I don’t know enough about science to be able to read the whole article, but the abstract is enough for me to get the gist of it most of the time.

You can always go to a university near you and use the library to read the rest of the article or you can contact the authors directly and ask him to send it to you. Often they will do it for free- they usually don’t get any of the money from the journals that collect.
Example:
“Pubmed intermittent fasting diabetes” yielded
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34909309/

Intermittent Fasting: A User-Friendly Method for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Mahreen Saeed et al. Cureus. 2021.

This one has 89 citations so it has been widely cited in other research, so, credibility ⬆️
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7856758/

Intermittent fasting: is there a role in the treatment of diabetes? A review of the literature and guide for primary care physicians

This is part of our national legacy, our national treasure, science, publicly, funded by your tax dollars. It’s shame that this is not more widely known.
