Do You Believe Everything That is Reported On the Internet?

I don't believe everything I read, no matter where I read it. But, I also don't pay any attention to things that talk about foods that are good or bad as I really don't care. I eat whatever I want to and it hasn't killed me yet. Wonder how we managed to live so long without worrying about what we put in our mouths, or, for that matter, sometimes not even knowing what it was made of

[i]Hi Hatley, Honestly, I easily believed about articles that I am reading on the internet but experienced as well as conversation with friends make me more open about researching more before relying on information I am getting online![/i]

i do read some health advisories its my favorite article in the net...my attention is usually caught on this type of thing...no i dont research just read and compare notes among my friends and ask them what they think of this one or do they believe on it...and my personal judgement on some information which i do believe in..

Regarding articles on food and drink, I pretty much ignore them all! I know that a variety of foods in combination is what's best for me, and as I suffer from no health conditions I figure that I can eat a little of everything with no ill effects. The internet will tell you five different answers for every question you ask. I think you need to read a variety of articles and research yourself if you want a 'true' answer.

Oh my if we believe everything here on the internet, we wouldn't have to worry about dying from whatever the article was about, but probally have a heart attack from the stress of worrying about it all. I take it all with a grain of salt and try to use common sense. Its funny that supposedly everything will kill either from too much or not enough. For everything that used to be okay, now will kill you. All I know is that my great grandmother lived to be over a 100 years old and my grandmother is now 87 and gets around better than most of her great grandkids and they just lived and let live with no warnings.

I don't trust the media in any form. It seems like their is always a contradicting study. I might listen to the information and their proofs, and then I would use my own mind to make up an opinion on the matter. I think its always best to get as many opinions as possible before accepting something as fact. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

I don't believe anything that any single news source tells me. All information is biased in some way, without a doubt and any adult who is so gullible not to know that must not be very smart.

you know that here on internet, people just put the things that they only know or that is their opinion, and nothing else.... so you not only just have to read it, but analyze it, thing about it, and then only believe it.l...

I don't. I only believe what I can see with my own eyes. I do believe my local news channel though. I do believe some of what I see and hear online but it can easily be altered.

no.

I never believe anything I hear or read without researching it myself. Some things I don't even bother to research, like water. We all need water. But everything in moderation would be a good thing for everyone to remember about practically everything! Wow, that was a mouthful of a sentence! lol Doctors and scientists are apt to jump to conclusions sometimes; a later study will prove the first one wrong, etc. I don't take those very seriously until they work them out, whether it's about food or any other subject. I just think we need to have common sense about what we stick in our mouths!

Heck no. You can't believe everything you read or even hear. The stupid news networks are now "reporting" on what they've read on blog sites. Like that is a good source of news? I usually use many different sources before I believe something. If it's something that was forwarded from a friend or relative, those things are normally false. Checking Snopes would have been easy for those friends/relatives, but no matter how many times I suggest that, most of them don't.

nothing is full truth nor false. we can't believe everything that is published on net. some may be truth some may not it all depends on a particular person

you cant believe everything read on the internet. i do alot of researching before i'll believe some things

I don't believe everything I read on the internet and on any other media. I try to verify the sources first. However scientists and other medical experts have a habit to confuse us lay people with contrasting evidence and statements.

I do not believe everything. I will see if it is true and see what other medical sites say about it. I will also see whether it is new information or information that has been kept from coming to light, like in the case of caffeine being good for some things. Or something that was supposed to be bad, now found that is good, or visa versa. So I sort of believe what the internet says on something, depending on who reported it and what there agenda is. I do believe there are some foods and drinks that are good for you, almonds and green tea, and real butter for instance, but it was not until the last few years that this news was allowed to come forward and I am thinking of the diseases we could have lessened or prevented like blocked veins, etc. if they were not so interested in promoting oleo margarine. So you really have to do a lot of investigation and sometimes if something is good for you, most of the links are for buying a book called "how to reverse Diabetes (or) Cancer without harmful medications (or) Surgery" before coming to the site that tells what food or drink will reverse the condition.

I usually do further research to find out more about whatever news I'm interested in. I don't believe everything I read :0)

I guess it all depends on what website it was posted on. If it's a reliable website, I will trust it. If it's a health website but I have not heard much about it, I will trust it to an extent but do more research. Even research changes every so often. One day this is the best veggie for you, the next week it's something else. One day it's good to take vitamin supplements, the next it's not... I try to use common sense and determine what is truthful and reliable, and if I am unsure, I do more research.

I do not buy the first facts i read on the internet, however Ido my own experimenting and work things out myself andthenread more about it. As regards drinking water before during and immediately after a meal. It is true one should not drink too much water just before, during and immediately after a meal. This is as per the teching of yoga. Analyse it for yourself. Put some waste food in a dustbin and keep it for 2-3 days. It starts giving a bad odour,but it does nto stink half as bad as it would if you were to fill water in the dustbin along with it. Water helps in putrefaction. More gases are given out. Same thing happens in the stomach. Secondly for teh food to digest, there ae certain juices acting on the food in the stomach. if you drink too much water, tehjuices get diluted and the digestion process is not as efficient. It takes about 20-30 min for the initial digestion to take place,that is the juices to act on the food. If there is no water in the stomach during that period ,digestion will be better and you will have less of gas and wind problem which are caused due to indigestion. This is my personal analysis. Could be checked out with a doctor.

of course not... if i did i'll probably would have been broke cause i'd gave away all my money or will be giving my lungs kidneys blood to spam mails about imaginary accidents :P
