level of cholesterol in your blood?

a. Time magazine.
b. Runner’s World magazine.
c. Your physician.
d. The National Institutes of Health.
e. The New England Journal of Medicine.

D – most trustworthy
E
C
B
A – least trustworthy

D and E seemed pretty close to me in terms of most trustworthy. E publishes weekly medical journals on their research findings and D is an institution that conducts medical research. C should be pretty knowledgeable in regards to human health. I don’t really know much about B, but they seem less trustworthy than the others. A focuses on many subjects, not just Health.
