I happen to be one of the many people who work maintaining the PubMed system (it's part of the National Library of Medicine - NIH).  I work on the IT, non-medical aspects of the system, and I gotta tell ya, even though this system (which is now being distributed to several other nations and will form one giant international bio-medicine information network) has a lot of useful material, I can't believe the amount of crap that passes for medical "science".  People will publish almost anything these days...  BTW, we're starting to expand and improve our handling of e-books, and I expect that in a few months our e-book library will be as robust as UT-Austin's http://www.netlibrary.com

Cool that you work for them.  Just bec. something is published does not mean it is credible.  It depends on what type of study it is (For exampe: cohort, retrospective, prosepective), how many people were in it, if it was double blind, if it had a control group etc.  For example, some preliminary stuides would say that A might be beneficial since compared to the control it helped by like 0.1% but the error is +/- 0.1 % so the study really didn't prove anything.
