Looking at Research in a new light

I met with Dr. Ballenger today for my conference, and it was very interesting. Although I have just started my research because I only have six sources, I was able to plan where I am going to look next for my sources. I have found all my sources so far from Google because I was able to find good sources with the starting information that I needed. Now I am going to go to the library home page and use some of the databases, and set up more than just the one interview that I have already sent. When I began my research, I found a lot of bias information because I am researching the benefits of a gluten free diet for those without celiac disease, gluten allergies or sensitivities. Since this topic has become so mainstream and common now, there are many people will strong opinions on the matter. But after looking a little bit farther I was able to find so interesting information and studies being conducted on the subject. I am also very interested to know the information I will be able to get from my interviews, and hear the personal experiences with gluten. Another thing I found very interesting from my conference today with Dr. Ballenger, is he said that normally research papers are not
"interesting" because we are taught to just get the facts down on the paper. But he was not like that, and he wanted a paper that was interesting and with personal stories. Because gluten is a topic that has effected so many people, I have a feeling it will be very easy to make an "interesting" paper, while still making it informative.
