I found volumes of solid, reliable information on the Internet when I was newly diagnosed with breast cancer and navigating my way through a maze of uncertainty. I also found loads of questionable material and ended up feeling quite overwhelmed at times about all that I'd uncovered.

The Internet can be a scary place. Anyone with an opinion can post anything on a Web site, appearing an expert to those searching desperately for direction about health matters. Therefore, it's important to locate sites that are reputable and worthy of your attention.

Take note, because here are some reviewed, ranked, and rated Web sites, part of a more comprehensive listing of the Top 20 health Web sites. Thanks to Consumer Reports WebWatch and the Health Improvement Institute for compiling these valuable resources.

Women runners out there, this article is for you! Men may have the edge with aging when it comes to sex appeal (why can't wrinkles make women look sexier?) but women seem to have the edge in athletics, specifically running. In this article in the New York Times one woman shares her observations about how men in races seem to consistently run longer times as they age, versus women who are "all over the place" and are often faster in their 30s and 40s than they were in their 20s.

Experts surmise it's not so much about physiology but more mental instead. Women don't often learn to assert themselves and really set challenges until they get older and more confident -- suddenly they realize what they're really capable of.

Watch out guys, here we come.
