Articles posted don't always bring the response we desire. Sometimes, they promote negative feedback.

Information is Power and Freedom of Speech is a Right
I was surprised by the number of negative comments my recent blog post about asparagus received. When the article was posted on CURE Magazine’s Facebook page, I never expected it to receive the type of response it did. As I read through the comments, I was confused.
In sharing the information included in the article, I intended to start a conversation and to share recent cancer-related news. As a breast cancer survivor, I take developments in the field of cancer research very seriously. That is why I am constantly perusing medical journals, news articles and medical libraries. I want to be abreast of the most recent information, and since cancer news isn’t always top on the priority list for media reporting, I do my own digging.
Comments like “click bait,” etc. negated the purpose of my article. And while I know not everyone will agree with everything published, it would be nice to know that people read with an open mind.
