How to read a health study
Four questions that help you tell a promising finding from proven advice.
Was it in people?
Many studies use cells or animals. They point the way, but results in people are what count for your health.
One study or many?
Reviews and meta-analyses pull many studies together, so they're usually stronger than a single result.
Linked, or caused?
When two things happen together, one doesn't always cause the other. Look for randomized trials.
What does it mean for you?
Research informs, it doesn't diagnose. Bring what you learn to a conversation with your doctor.
