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).

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.
