Pubmed is just a dumping ground of research though. There's no guarantee that anything you find there is more credible than some guy's blog (and maybe less of a guarantee if the blogger knows what credible research looks like and has condensed it into an article for laypeople).

Pubmed is all peer reviewed, sourced research isn’t it?

Kinda, but Pubmed is just a Google for journals. And there's a depressing number of pay-to-publish journals that rubber-stamp their peer reviews. I've come across all kinds of quackery in some of those journals so there's no way I would say that being on Pubmed is any guarantee of reliability.
