1. What is this item about?
2. Why did you choose it?
3. Do you agree with what's happening in the news item you chose? Why or why not?
4. Do you think the information has been presented fairly? Why or why not?
5. Would you use this news source again?

This article is about the benefits of increased diagnosis of celiac disease. says that it "would benefit not only the patients but would result in health care costs savings." I chose this article because i am interested in health and anatomy, as well as biology, so it is beneficial to me to do research on something i enjoy and find interesting. I agree with the article that more research is better, because celiac disease seems to link to a bunch of other problems, and maybe researching more of this can solve other issues like osteoporosis and anemia. I believe the information has been presented fairly, the writer has not insulted anyone, and the information is about research on Celiac disease and how it can solve other issues. It is presented fairly because nothing is false information and no insults are made. Yes, i would use this news source again.

  1. Andrea, Excellent summary. Just be aware that in medical research someone might stand to benefit from the results of the study. For example, I’m sure a Celiac Disease clinical center would benefit from a study saying that an increased diagnosis of celiac disease would be beneficial. In this case, though, since doctors seem to forget about it, the study is probably right.
