Health Info workshop full of useful tidbits

TRL were guests at LHS today to provide a workshop on "Finding Reliable Health Information on the Internet". It did in fact provide a lot of useful stuff!

Among my personal favourites were the "Health Tools" at www.healthyontario.com, and the "Health Tools" at the Mayo Clinic's site (www.mayoclinic.com). Also of interest were the featured articles in healthyontario, included myths and realities of "Detoxing" and the "Truth about energy and sport drinks". Of interest to teens especially were two sites the Ontario government has set up on quitting smoking - www.stupid.ca, and healthy eating - www.notgoingtokillyou.ca.

Lots of good stuff on medications, disease risk, healthy living, food choices, legislation, etc- a veritable cornucopia of data.
