@naturegirl5 Peer reviewed scientific evidence is hard to come by. Also few years ago,, there were reports of sort of "scam" scientific journals---authors of the research paid to publish and were not really peer reviewed---real peer reviewed articles don't pay the journal to be reviewed and published...............

Alternatives to Google Scholar

Google Scholar has a few troubles with reliability.
I attach "PubMed" to my searches understanding the heading caution and watching the dates of publication.

@cleveland30 This is an interesting perspective. It has not been my experience that peer-reviewed scientific evidence is hard to come by. It's all in how one searches and vets what one is reading.
I am retired faculty from a university so I use the university library services to do my research for peer-reviewed articles. I feel assured that in using this university website for my searches that I pull up reliable scientific journal references. I never use Google for these searches. If a person wishes to use Google I suggest Google Scholar.
It's always good to make sure that any research one uses is from a reliable source.
