    From the American website PubMed (Medical Publications) comes a very good article on how to read health news.

     

    “Your first concern should be the research behind the news article. If an article touts a treatment or some aspect of your lifestyle that is supposed to prevent or cause a disease, but doesn’t give any information about the scientific research behind it, then treat it with a lot of caution. The same applies to research that has yet to be published.”

     

    Here is the link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/behindtheheadlines/how-to-read/
