Did you know there are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. Why is fast food so popular? Because it is convienent, predictable, and fast. Fast food has become a part of the busy American lifestyle. But, nutrition experts point out, fast food is often high in calories, sodium, fat and cholesterol. This does not mean fast food is bad. But it does mean you should fit fast food into a balanced, healthy diet. To help you make fast food choices and be an informed
consumer, the Minnesota Attorney General's Office has developed the guide

| Doctor's Guide(tm) |
| Site description by owners:
Doctor's Guide to the Internet is brought to you by P\S\L Consulting Group Inc.an organisation dedicated to providing the information and information services most likely to help promote the informed and appropriate use of medicines by health care professionals and organisations as well as by the people to whom they are prescribed. To this end, Doctor's Guide was designed to help physicians cost-effectively harness the resources of the Internet and the World Wide Web. The Internet can be a bewildering place for most people, and perhaps even more so for physicians. Indeed, the medical resources that can be found on the Internet are virtually limitless and are changing and improving every day. It would be impossible for a doctor to keep abreast of this continuing evolution, unless he or she was willing to devote many hours every day to finding and visiting new Internet sites in order to assess their relevance to his or her practice. Few doctors can afford this kind of time investment. P\S\L's purpose in designing Doctor's Guide was therefore to save them countless hours of fruitless browsing while providing them with a comfortable and friendly environment from which to derive the most value from the Internet and the World Wide Web.

| HealthAtoZ |
| Site description by owners:
HealthAtoZ aspires to be your internet navigation tool and information resource in health and medicine. The exponential growth of the Internet has created a great need for services to help navigate it meaningfully. Search engines either catalogue the web manually, or with the help of customized "spider technologies". Manual cataloguing is very specific, but the number of positive searches are few as the universe is very vast. Spider based searches produce a greater number of sites. However a lot of sites are irrelevant. Search engines that follow particular segments of the Internet are the solution. HealthAtoZ has been exclusively catalogued by medical professionals who have a greater understanding and strong background in health and medicine. HealthAtoZ provides format and search capabilities for both medical professionals and consumers that save time, are comprehensive, and consistently maintained and updated. Their vision is to be the starting point for all your health and medical searches on the Web. Click here to go to ---> HealthAtoZ
