Doing your own research

[Technoid]

We're all aware of the general ignorance of many health professionals on the topics of B12 and nutrition and their effect on health. This highlights the importance of doing ones own research to find tips or solutions that will help you or verify whether or not your doctor or someone posting on a forum , on social media or your favourite nutrition influencer, knows what they are talking about. This can be lifesaving information in the event of a misdiagnosis (something I have personal experience of).

Heres a video that may help :

I made a separate post with details on how to keep up with current research papers, via email alerts of new papers of interest on Google Scholar or Pubmed:

This article will help you understand some important stastical methods commonly encountered in nutrition studies: "Statistical Inferences in Nutrition: P-Values, Point Estimates, and Confidence Intervals": mynutritionscience.com/stat...

For those looking for a deeper dive on nutrition science, its pitfalls, strengths, and where there are areas for improvement, I recommend this review paper:

"Need for a nutrition-specific scientific paradigm for research quality improvement"

For those who want a more thorough, in-depth course on this topic I recommend the Applied Nutrition Literacy course from Sigma Nutrition : sigmanutrition.com/course/

The Google Scholar video was amazingly useful, opening my eyes to several features I didn't know about.
