DISCOVERING "WHO CARES" July - August 2010

With so many sources of health information available to you - many of them online - it can be tough to tell fact from fiction, or useful health products and services from those that don't work or aren't safe.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has published a booklet to help you find reliable sources of information on health topics important to you. You can find links to agencies and organizations that "care" about topics like generic drugs, caregiving, surgery to improve vision, hearing aids and others.

To obtain a copy of the FTC booklet: "WHO CARES - Sources of Information About Health Care Products and Services", go to www.ftc.gov/whocares or call 877-382-4357.
