(This post is part of an assignment for the class I am taking, Global Impact of New Communication Technologies at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I will be posting the best and worst websites I find on nutritional information related to my research project, as described here: http://feedingblackmail.blogspot.com/2007/09/cheap-food-or-expensive-organic-is.html.)

Medical News Today's: Organic foods in relation to nutrition and health key facts
This article is found on Medical News Today – described as “The number one ranked (Google and Yahoo!) website for medical news. Independent, authoritative and unbiased news from thousands of sources around the globe, divided into over 100 therapy areas (disease/condition categories).” - I had never heard of this resource before, even after doing a voluminous amount of 'medical research' during my pregnancy. If this article is representative of the rest of the site, I am very impressed. It spells out the nine reasons why organic food is more nutritious and healthy, and cites over 60 additional articles and studies to bolster the opinion.
Today's Worst
About.com's Nutrition Entry
Part of the about.com network, About's sitelet on Nutrition has a blog-style setup on the front page, which I was not expecting. In addition, many of the articles contain polls which are set up in a strange format - a bulleted list of choices for me to click on to vote. I had to click on one in order to confirm that it was truly a poll. Typically, about.com pages can be a useful source of information when looking for references, but this makes it appear to be just another place to read articles about the subject. I did find after a while that if I click through in the navigation, I was taken to the familiar bulleted lists of resources on different topics, as I was looking for. But I honestly had to visit the page twice to figure that out! As much as I like blogs, I don't like the confusing combination offered here.

With the advent of Joyelle Derma Cream, there is no requirement to try that. I actually don't understand this Anti Aging thing. I carefully tested this aspect of this. It isn't a new wrinkle in Botox treatment. Need I say more? I must make another appeal to you, but I have nothing better to do. Believe me, "Things are not always as you might think." I do encourage you to do so. That aspect is universal. Is skin cream an enigma for you? Spiritually, it doesn't feel right to be looking at Anti Aging right now so that I wouldn't mention that. >>https://www.healthstrikes.com/joyelle-derma-cream
