Search Strategies

What is my search strategy for my healthy skeptic paper? What keywords will I be using? What synonyms? Stay current.

Some of the strategies that I have been researching has been using synonyms to broaden my search. For instance, I will use both "low-fat" and "non-fat" for a search term. Also, I use keywords such as diet, health, myths, and weight loss. Once I have a wide rage of results, I pick and choose on what I believe is legitimate for my paper. I always check to date and I make sure that the source is reliable. It helps if the author is a doctor or some sort of nutritionist. That way I am confident in knowing that the facts that I am reading and learning about hold merit.
