Assignment task: Find at least two websites that present conflicting information for a particular health treatment. For example, you might look into the claims that using Melatonin promotes sleep and prevents insomnia, OR that undergoing Acupuncture will work wonders to relieve chronic pain. Remember you must find sites that present conflicting information, meaning one site says "yes it's a good thing," the other says "no don't use it, it's dangerous!"
Answer the following questions:
Q1. What health treatment did you choose to research and why?
Q2. What websites did you visit? How did you find them- with a search engine, word of mouth, magazine ad, news report, etc.?
Q3. What agencies or groups maintain the websites? Are they credible sources? How do you know?
Q4. What health claims are made for the product or treatment on each website? What evidence is presented to back up these claims? Is the evidence trustworthy? What did you use to make that determination?
Q5. Suppose a friend or relative asks you whether or not they should try the product or treatment. What would be your recommendation, based on what you learned?
