An explanation of the different type of anemia and how to treat them could also be added. The food sources and the supplement dosing could be added to the article from a pharmacy aspect, as well the effects in pregnancy.

Option 5

 * Article title: Cold Medicine
 * Article Evaluation: This article is very small and easy to read. The lead talks about various options for medicine, however it uses scientific language which may be harder for a reader to grasp in the lead. Therefore a quick explanation rather than siting to a sub page may be more reader friendly. Also the content is well paid out, however a comparison chart could be used for the medicinal options. As well it is missing information of how garlic doesn't show significant data regarding improvement or resolution in cold. As well the adverse effects of using Echinacea to treat cold, as it is not recommended for cold symptomatic relief. The article also lacks pictures as well. Including pictures of product or packaging can be helpful for patients who might like an over the counter option as they can see it before hand. The viewpoints are strictly based on scientific data and are do not persuade the reader in a specific direction. The sources also reflect the topic, however more supporting data that is up to date can be added for product that are not recommended. Recent studied will add reliability to the article. Overall, with small improvement and organization of the information the writing can be more a balanced and well-developed.
