Taking a closer look at the evidence

Being able to look at the evidence with a critical eye is an essential skill that helps us make informed decisions about our health and well being.

After reading this post, you will have an increased awareness and understanding of:
- Differences between observational and experimental studies
- Pros and cons of these types of studies
- Why you should avoid making decisions about your diet based on observational data alone
- And be able to come to a conclusion on the strength of evidence that is being presented
There will be checkpoints along the way. Use them as an opportunity to take a breath and process what you've learned so far.

So, here goes. Make a cup of your favorite coffee or tea, sit back and put on your thinking caps!
