need good medical website info...
 but need to 'prove' it to these emotionally charged hormonal people.
Does anyone know of the most reputable medical-related websites to look things up on. One I chose was the National Institute of Cancer, but the rebuttal was that they wanted 'credible' sources... |

| Hard to beat the NIC, but you could try
www.medscape.com www.webmd.com www.nih.gov (National Institutes of Health) Go get'em, tiger! 
Good luck!  |
| Ron has referenced my top three picks |
| If the idiot doesn't feel that the NIC is a credible source, you probably won't be able to "prove" anything to their satisfaction anyway. |
| mayoclinic.com |
| I don't want to be a know it all, but it's the National Cancer Institute. Not the National Institute of Cancer. www.cancer.gov.
I'm a medical librarian and information needs to be correct! Also try: medicinenet.com medlineplus.gov healthfinder.gov |

| The scary thing is that probably is a National Institute of Cancer which promotes some alternative, "natural" way of "healing" cancer.
What have you found about artifical sweetner???? |
| I won!!
Well, I didn't win per se, but I went on to look this morning expecting some crazy tirade against the million of articles that I provided in support of my argument...and all I got was "Those seem to be good studies. But one more question: Who funded them." And I had that info...so yay! |
| So, now go to the "Food for Thought" section and post your findings with your support! |
| So...
The story goes: A person on this other website posted a story saying the FDA is not worried about artificial sweeteners causing cancer in 2 studies done in rats by Italian researchers in the last few years. It immediately started off a rash of panic in people on the forum, with them saying I drink diet soda with artificial sweetener, I eat yogurt with artificial sweetener, etc. and I'm now going to die from cancer! How AWFUL can the FDA be to ignore those findings! So I calmly went in saying that while the new studies from Italy may be on to something, there's no need for panic, these studies were done in rats, not humans and there are anatomic differences between the two--which is important, and there are TONS of studies out there saying that the data up to this point does not indicate that artificial sweeteners cause cancer. While I don't think that artificial sweeteners is necessarily a GOOD thing, I also don't feel (and of course I'm not a doctor or researcher) that if you use a Splenda in your coffee in the morning you're going to get cancer. All things in moderation, and try to eat or drink as many natural products as possible. I know that I was starting off with an unfavorable point of view, so I was prepared for attacks...but the forum moderator was quite rude, I thought, in her answers to me (until I backed it up with a million 'credible' articles backing me up). This is also the forum that was SO RUDE to me when someone posted about an article about a thin nutritionist who called the newest American Idol overweight and not a good role model for young girls because of that aspect (BTW there are a lot of larger women on that forum) and while everyone else was calling the woman a b#$# and saying the skinny b@#$ deserves to have some brownies shoved down her throat...I calmly come in and say, while she might have stated it poorly, I believe her point was to say that America glorifies overweight people by calling them curvy and goddesses, while the obesity epidemic is getting out of control. I was not popular for that... |
