The Internet can be a great source of health information,
but it can also be a source of baseless rumors, hype, and claims
for miracle products that don't work at all. It's hard to know what
to believe. Some websites just dismiss these claims, but we have
found that there sometimes is a kernel of truth -- or potential
truth -- even in some apparently outrageous warnings we've seen
on the Internet.
On the other hand, there are some very dangerous products masquerading as "all natural" supplements that sound too good to be true -- and are. NRC for Women & Families will do its part to help you sift through this information, by examining some of the e-mails that are making the rounds, and letting you know what the facts are.
