"Internet technology now provides access to an enormous volume and a broad variety of health information. This information may be from a leading expert with excellent documentation and a complete bibliography, or it may be in the form of emotional support from a friendly support group. Unfortunately, the Internet can also deliver sales propaganda, the latest medical rumors, or even the most sophisticated, pseudo-scientific scams. This makes it difficult for the user to determine which information is usable and credible; how it can be evaluated, critiqued, or verified; when it should be ignored, rejected, debunked, or erased; and whether to read, print, file, or download it."
