Beware Of Fraudulent Blogs

It is shocking that some one has blogged containing the image of a Child supposedly suffering form Cancer, while it was not.

Such posts .especially on a Subject on Health that too on Cancer involving a child, is sickening.

Is it because of 'Hits"

If your writing does not provide information, at least desist from posting incorrect and sensational posts just to attract attention.

Unfortunately many take the information from the Internet seriously with out cross checking.

I tell my children not to Google for serious subjects and be guided by the First ten or twenty results in Google Search.

They might have appeared, not because of the authenticity or correctness of the information but because of tagging and keywords.

However much the Machines try, they can not avoid this fraudulent writing from appearing in top results.

My suggestion is not to find a cure for illnesses from the Internet, but check with your Physician.

if you are forced to search,check the Trustworthiness of the site with WOT. cross check with Alexa,compare with other results from the search one each from from the first three pages of the Search results.

Antioxidants And Cancer. Study

As in Smoking where it is said that Smoking Causes Cancer,the reason being that higher percentage of people who have Cancer were found be Smokers,

In the same vein," Some studies have shown that people who eat more fruits and vegetables have a lower incidence of cancer and heart disease and live longer. The logic is obvious. If fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, and people who eat fruits and vegetables are healthier, then people who take supplemental antioxidants should also be healthier."

The Logic is faulty in both the cases.

It does not mean who ever wears a Green Saree is my wife!

Science often jumps the Gun by touting incomplete data as Conclusive and we blindly follow it!
