No when I say your own research I mean peer reviewed papers and comparing various studies.
Still pubmed, unless you can account for all the other studies that are not accessible without payment. I'm just saying often times this advice gets interpreted as "read up some articles on pubmed" and then you end up having people reading abstracts without possibly having ever done proper research themselves.
If i'd want to argue for the healthiness of saturated fats, i could easily end up finding the studies that confirm my bias and even be convinced by them, all the while pouring the work of thousands of scientists and several decades of consensus down the drain. Gotta really know what you're doing.
