Biological Plausibility

This means there’s a logical, science-based explanation for how something might work in the body. For example, if a study suggests a certain food helps lower blood pressure, biological plausibility asks: Do we know how that food could affect blood pressure based on what we understand about biology and how the body works? It helps researchers decide whether a claim makes sense before accepting it as likely to be true.
