Learn the difference between a personal story, a lab result and a study in people.
“I felt calmer” describes one person’s experience. A lab experiment tests a question under controlled conditions. A study in people examines what happened to a particular group. Before repeating a claim, find out which kind of evidence supports it.
Who took part? What was compared? What was measured? How long did it last? Who paid for the work? Write down the source and date. If the summary leaves a question unanswered, say so.
For example, say “An early study looked at short-term anxiety and stress after CBG.” Do not turn that into “CBG treats anxiety.” A small study does not establish that every product works for everyone.
Pick one claim from a label or article. Find its source and name one thing the evidence does not tell you. Explain that limit as if you were talking to someone at a store counter.
Answer both correctly to save the Evidence Explorer badge. You can retry after reading the feedback.
