Abstract
At the time of this writing, it is estimated that nearly 500 million people throughout the world use the Internet and growth among new users shows no sign of slowing (Telcordia, 2001). One of the main reasons people report using the Internet is to obtain information. Health information is one of most researched topics online. (Harris Interactive, 2001). People now have access to more health information than was ever previously available with the number of existing health-related web sites estimated to far exceed 20 000 (Eng, 2001).Keywords
