Which of the following search statements would be most likely to retrieve relevant articles on the topic of the health risks of genetically modified foods for children with food allergies?

Part 2

For a course on contemporary issues in science, you are assigned to write a research paper on a current issue. You have chosen the topic “genetically modified foods.” Your assignment indicates that you should use a variety of resources, including books, articles, and Web sites, to find information for your paper.

1. Applying evaluation criteria for Web sources, which of the following seems most appropriate to use in your research on genetically modified foods?

1. Web site of a company that produces genetically modified corn, last updated in 2002
2. annotated bibliography on genetically altered crops published in 2009 by a federal agricultural agency
3. Web site of a vegetarian activist group that advocates organic food production
4. essay on genetics in foods posted on a well-known university’s Web site that is unfinished and has no author and no date
5. allerg* AND (child* OR youth) AND “genetically modified foods”
6. “genetically modified foods” AND health
7. (nutrition OR allergies) AND child*
8. health AND risk AND (child* OR youth) AND allergies
9. primary
10. secondary
11. Narrow your keywords to include more specific terms on the topic
12. Broaden your keywords and revise your search statement
13. Change your topic to one that is covered in your textbook
14. Write the paper using the materials you found
