More Americans Seek Health Info Online

Someone sent in

This Story on a new Harris poll that found 110 million adults–roughly 80% of those who are online–search the Web for health information at least sometimes, up from 97 million just 1 year ago and from 54 million in 1998.

These \”cyberchondriacs\”–a term used to describe anyone who goes online for health information–prefer to use search engines that can take them to several different sites, rather than relying on one or two specific sites.

Ah, good old Dr. Google, he can cure anything.
