Essay Three Sources

"Causes." Obesity. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 09 Oct 2010. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/obesity/DS00314/DSECTION=causes.
Updated July 8, 2010.  Written by Mayo Clinic Staff.  I would use this source again.

"Causes and Consequences." Overweight and Obesity. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 07 Dec 2009. Web. 12 Oct 2010. http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/causes/index.html.
Updated December 7, 2009.  Lists Sources: Content source: Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and is a reliable website; I would use this source again.

"Defining Overweight and Obesity." Overweight and Obesity. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 21 Jun 2010. Web. 12 Oct 2010. http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/index.html.
  • Page last updated: October 8, 2010

  • Content source: Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

  • this is a reliable website; I would use this source again.


  • Flegal, Katherine, Margaret Carroll, Cynthia Ogden, and Lester Curtin. "Prevalence and Trends in Obesity Among US Adults, 1999-2008." The Journal of the American Medical Association. American Medical Association, 13 Jan 2010. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/303/3/235?ijkey=ijKHq6YbJn3Oo&keytype=ref&siteid=amajnls.
    published january 13, 2010 and lists authors and the sources they used for their research; not biased.  I would use this again.

    "General Causes of Modern Obesity." Causes of Obesity. Anne Collins, 2007. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://www.annecollins.com/obesity/causes-of-obesity.htm.
    This website does not list authors and was published in 2007.  I might not use this again because I am unsure if it is biased or unbiased.

    Keeler, Sharon. "Teen obesity and family environment." Medical News Today. MediLexicon International Ltd, 15 Aug 2005. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/29129.php.
    The article date is August 15, 2005 and the author is listed, including her contact information.  It is not a biased article, but a little out of date so I might reconsider using it again.

    Lopez, Russell, and Patricia Hynes. "Obesity, physical activity, and the urban environment: public health research needs." Environmental Health. BioMed Central Ltd, 18 Sep 2006. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://www.ehjournal.net/content/5/1/25.
    Published September 18, 2006.  Authors and sources for research are listed.  Not biased.  I would use this source again.

    McManamy, John. "Diet and Obesity." McMan's Depression and Bipolar Web. John McManamy, 2010. Web. 22 Oct 2010. http://www.mcmanweb.com/diet_obesity.html.
    Author is listed and the article was reviewed in 2008.  There could be bias because the author is speaking from experience, but he uses facts.  I think this is a credible souce that could be used again.

    "Obesity Causes." emedicine health. WebMD, 2010. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/obesity/page2_em.htm.
    Copyright 2010, but the article has no date or author listed.  This is a reliable website without bias.  I think this source could be used again.

    Wieder, Robert. "Fatness and Friendship, Part I: Why do They Often Go Hand in Hand?." Obesity Causes. CalorieLab, 26 Aug 2010. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://calorielab.com/news/categories/obesity-causes/.
    August 26, 2010.  By Robert S. Wieder for CalorieLab Calorie Counter News.  I would use this source again.
