[When evaluating health information, ask] is the information accurate? When assessing the accuracy, try to determine whether the

information is supported by evidence from scientific studies, other data or expert opinion. If you receive information from a medical journal, note the size and category of the study. Read the article carefully to see if the authors discuss any limitations . . . of the study. . . .
If you receive information from a secondary source such as an Internet site or a newspaper article, keep in mind that you are relying on another person's interpretation of the data. . . . Although your local newspaper may provide excellent information on certain topics, it lacks the expertise of a medical journal or a national organization specializing in that field of cancer.

Some one give me some good facts about gluten free cuisine. Please and thank you
Alekssandra [29.7K]
I would suggest Mexican and Latin foods since they most likely rice and corn based. You can also try out Caribbean its a pretty good option and it has really good tasting food that are gluten free. And even if the food isn’t gluten free Mexican and Latin food can easily be converted into a gluten free version of the food.

Enjoy.
