Pubmed

Yes. Pubmed is really great. But it's more about paid content isn't
it? This www.goshme.com searches simultaneously into a lot of
specialized search engines, such as HON - Health On the Net
Foundation, Scirus - Scientific Information, WebMD Health, and many
others, bringing a huge variety of reliable free content. You know
what, I will send an e-mail to these guys suggesting the Pubmed's
inclusion in goshme's health category.

The searching tool I'm using is a kind of interactive catalog that
seeks for the best search engines regarding your query.

Using it is quite simple. Ex.: type nutritional diet impact, mark the
categories of interest (I would suggest: health, news, science,
multimedia, and reference), and it will provide a list with search
engines regarding this query, ordered by relevance. Once you choose
which search engines are appropriate for your needs, just click on the
link and go directly to its results' page.

Notice that you will be seeking into specialized search engines (such
as HON, Scirus, and many others) and they usually have professional
review over their content, assuring the results reliability.

the only somewhat reliable health information is the one that made its way
into the textbooks (and I mean into the majority of the big standards).
everything else is still prone to too much speculation to actually act on
it. just look at various studies contradicting each other.. it takes time
until a certain chapter is known to some extent.
