The internet can be great to get more information, but it can also be a nightmare! Some sites give completely incorrect information, some are outdated, some just scare you half to death!
There's always the problem of what do you believe? Some studies are completely contradictory!
The internet is no substitute for talking things through with a nurse or doctor - they can give some context and some explanation to anything you might have read on the net.
We use two websites a lot: the Cochrane Collaboration (it's a Scottish organisation) and the NIH - the National Institute of Health ( a US site). Both take lots of studies and do analyses to get a much better picture - they do studies on treatments, drugs and a whole lot of other things relating to health. Try looking up those sites - they're two of the best for giving good, sound information.
