好友mail了一篇防癌養生文章，因為這是醫學報導，所以依慣例要小心求證。google了中、英文「全美最佳醫院對癌細胞的新知」、「Johns Hopkins Cancer New」，沒看到醫院原文出處，都只是大家連來連去的引用。最後上醫院官方網站查詢，目前只看到這篇
Myths about Dioxins and Freezing Plastic Water bottles: Email Hoax Regarding Freezing Water Bottles and Microwave Cooking
“The Internet is flooded with messages warning against freezing water in plastic bottles or cooking with plastics in the microwave oven. These messages, frequently titled “Johns Hopkins Cancer News” or “Johns Hopkins Cancer Update,” are falsely attributed to Johns Hopkins and we do not endorse their content.
Freezing water does not cause the release of chemicals from plastic bottles.
In general, it is best to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when using any plastic products. When cooking with plastics, only use those plastic containers, wraps, bags and utensils for their intended purposes.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) has some helpful guidelines for cooking with plastics in microwave ovens.”
醫院否認有發布此一消息！
趨勢科技也有一篇澄清此一網路謠言的文章：

先不論文章內容正確與否，一篇誤用或冒用來源的文章，可以流傳這麼廣、這麼久，實在很有意思。尤其醫院都已經在今年初發佈訊息，說他們沒有如此聲明過，我還在年底收到此文，上網查詢，也還是有許多人在傳來傳去。
我在10月8號的提到的書：你在看誰的部落格、http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/mercy-being/article?mid=1031&prev=1082&next=919&l=f&fid=11
就是探討這種奇妙現象：網民們每天接受許多訊息，看似言之有物，基於種種理由又轉發出去，也沒（空）考慮是否（內容）有病毒？
心得：所有重要的訊息，都必須找到最源頭。有時我看某些部落文章寫的頭頭是道，顯然跟他平時的文筆功力不符，又無註明引用出處，就會質疑。
做為部落格版主，在轉貼時也必須小心求證，最好找到最源頭較為保險。若是某大師開示，若有官方網站，註明清楚若是某弟子聆聽記錄，也須註明人事時地物等等。
