Every list ever posted on healthsprocket, all the way back to the first list posted in June of 2010, is always available. You can scroll back through the pages in 'newest lists' to view them chronologically. Doing this provides the opportunity to look at what topics were at the forefront at different times over the past few years.

One thousand, three-hundred and fifty-four lists are currently posted on healthsprocket. So what are they all about? We decided to take a peek,

95 of the lists are video lists, and 69 are opinion lists (meaning the person who posted the lists provided their opinion on a topic). The balance (1,190) are fact lists, although remember in healthsprocket that a fact lists in includes citing a third-party's opinions with a source.
