An E-Mail Health Warning That Is Real

Posting Date: 07/21/1999

Thanks for taking the time to share.

This is an example of something that has the appearances of an urban rumor but turns out to be a legitimate health warning. This is rare among the exaggerated claims, product pitches or just plain scams and hoaxes that infiltrate the Internet.

So, follow my advice and remain skeptical of health claims being made via e-mail, in the mass media or on the Internet. If something sounds legitimate, research the claims being made right here at HealthCentral. Or, visit our Hoax Watch Center where we store many of these fake Internet health items.
