So if I do not have the educational background or resources to conduct controlled medical experiments myself, then what's a guy to do if he wants to get informed?
Can public organizations like NIH, WHO be trusted?
What about publications like JAMA or the Lancet?
Institutions like Mayo, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Harvard?
Or do you look to some other source?

I honestly don't know the answer. My 90% was pulled out of my ass, but I don't think it is far off.
WiseOne's advice seems the most reasonable. But even then, most of the population can't read a study and understand it.

I don't know. Relying on flash in the pan reporting: "New study from xxx says yyy" is a disaster.

What do non-techie folks on this board do for sanity?

Also, Not watching Television/Propaganda helps.
