Where to find medical research for my articles?

Hey guys!
I am starting to write for a fitness website but I am finding it hard to focus my research only on books and ebooks i've bought. It is dreadful to always reference medical researches that are written in those book(or ebooks).
I was hoping to find some med websites that can allow me to link to the researches they have written around in order to give solid prove to my words.
Any ideas?

    Livestrong.com is pretty good, they often link to peer-reviewed stuff. Though the sites they link to are typically paid sites.

    The most complete, authoritative site I've seen is pubmed.gov.

    Home - PubMed - NCBI

    Thanks for the responses guys but I think you misunderstood my point.
    Of course I can find all those great sites that are filled with useful articles and medical research,however, what I am asking is whether can I use this knowledge?
    Can I use the results or conclusions made during the studies in my articles while linking back to the source(or referencing to them).
    Is it that simple and free?
    I hope it is a bit clearer now

      Writing articles in the medical arena has several caveats that can cause headaches and grief from the hordes of licensing and regulating agencies. You should seek professional legal counsel rather than get advice from a marketing forum. As a writer myself in several medical niches, my sites and articles contain disclaimers stating for example that this information is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment ... etc.

      Apart from the above, there are copy-write laws that need to be considered, although "fair use" is often loosely mistaken for copy and paste. I have never had a problem referencing sources from professional papers or websites, as long as direct quotes are short and meticulously credited or cited from the original source. Here is a citation format I use in nearly all of my articles, including non-medical: Using Referenced Links in Content

        myob - you nailed it. Thanks also for your link to your other post, which
        provides a brilliant way to handle the citation issue and giving your blog
        posts more authority at the same time.

        I'll be bookmarking that one!
