Importance of learning how to and finding information yourselves.. also, interesting paper..

[Guest guest]

People who visit these lists often don't understand that increasingly,

there is a serious disconnect between the world of research and the

world as depicted in the media and on the Internet,

including Internet mailing lists like those at Health.

They are increasingly viewed by many as fertile ground for

disinformation and marketing efforts.

The best way to find the answers to important questions out is to do

your own 'research' - and by that I mean search the databases like

PubMed

(which is a HUGE database of hundreds of thousands of medical and

other scientific papers that is FREE and available to everybody.. The

URL is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez )

In order to get a realistic picture of what is going on, you often

need to look for information that is relevant to your own situation

YOURSELF.

Vested interests rule on the Internet and they are often actively

working to squelch information that might not say what they want it

to, even here.

This (preliminary PDF below) looks as if it represents a useful

research resource.

The title is:

Finding toxicological information: an approach for occupational health

professionals
