How to evaluate online advice and information:
Check the creator: Web site ending in ".gov" (for government) or ".edu" (for educational) are the most reliable. Generally ".org" (for Organization) is reliable while ".com" (Commercial) indicates a proprietary or business source. Make sure the author or the sites medical advisory board has the appropriate medical health credentials.
Look for credentials: Make sure the author or the site medical advisory board has the appropriate medical health credentials.
Read the references: Web documents should include references for data and advice. Check the date to make sure the information is current.
Watch out for bias: Many "health" web sites are merely disguised advertisements. Note headings carefully to distinguish between facts and hype.
