About 'Online Health News'

Online Health News is a portal for all health-related news and information around the web, Here you'll find the latest information on a great variety of health topics, with real-time displays of 'feeds' from a variety of sources. We make these available for those who do not have a news reader to display these feeds, or would like a source for new health news articles from locations they may not have seen.
About News Feeds

News feeds are specially coded documents for quickly and easily delivery of information - they are not normally viewable in standard web browsers, however. They are, instead, read and displayed using applications specifically designed for the purpose.

  and  

News feeds, or RSS feeds (Really Simple Syndication Rich Site Summary) are usually delivered in XML (Extensible Markup Language - go here for more detail). All health news feeds on Online Health News are available for inclusion in your own news reader application. Clicking on the 'XML' symbol (some sites will use the 'RSS' symbol - they are interchangeable) will take your browser to the source of the news feed. However, you will need to install some sort of news reader application. A list of these is available here, or by clicking on the links to the individual application providers on the left-side navigation bar. Most are simple to set up and use. When you have installed a reader, you can then include the locations of the health news (or any news or blogs or any other information source) you wish to read on a regular basis. The news feed will be delivered to you 'on demand'.

Getting Started

To read the health news feeds on this site, all you have to do is browse around. Clicking on a link associated with each feed (not the 'XML' symbol, but the text link) will take you to the source website where you will find more fun and perhaps helpful health news articles.

Please Note: The dates on a very few of the news feeds have been found to be incorrect; when the link to the whole article on the originating site is clicked, the true article date is found. We are working on the best way to resolve this issue. Thanks!
