Thoughs on Forwarding an article

Before forwarding a link or article, it will be good if everyone can do some net-research on it and try to get some info from some papers or atleast a trustworthy website or one which mentions some information abt the studies made from which the conclusions were drawn, not just some website like "eat-your-daily-fruit.com" :-)

like for example, one website i have come to trust for reading about supplements is :

http://www.berkeleywellness.com/html/ds/dsSupplements.php?PHPSESSID=7a87b5b02f7cfc23a1221a5317b55a50

another one is :

http://www.whfoods.com/

also, i always like passing links around than some text - since i am always skeptical about such emails ranging from "pepsi can dissolve a tooth" to "water can explode in a microwave" to "drinking water can cure almost all the diseases on earth" :-) (the trick is all of these things are based on some truth and extrapolating it)

not trying to find fault for the sake, but even this article abt fruits kind of seem to be a kind of an amateurish article (and it seems to be malaysian or viet origin :-) ) if cooking destroys "all vitamins"
in fruits, then cud it be possible that indians who traditionally eat "overcooked" vegetables (look at the color of the greens in our dishes) might not be getting any vitamins from them at all ?

also acidity of fruits ? well i know that oranges whether fruit or juice are reported to have a ph in the range of 3-3.7 mostly. and u can decide what it means! (think actually our stomach during digestion also has a ph of 4 - to avoid any "putrefaction") but as you notice, these things are not so black and white. they have some minute truth but some articles might just magnify it to a "urban legend's" proportion
:-)

so i think finding a trust worthy article in the net-jungle might not be an easy task after all. so be really careful in what you forward :-)

anyway sorry abt my boring lecture :-)

here's my topic :

strengthening bones likes kids - the article is for kids but has some really good points to avoid losing calcium from our bones.
