Jessica Alba accurately describes WebMD as a 'black hole of anxiety'
Jessica Alba knows that sometimes, the Internet is where all your greatest fears convene to push your last shreds of peace of mind into oblivion.
“I think WebMD is a black hole of anxiety and I don’t recommend it," Alba told Mashableafter picking up her Entrepreneur of the Year Webby Award for founding Honest Company, a consumer information company dedicated to promoting non-toxic products. "But I go down the black hole of anxiety often."

Whatever ails you, It's probably not actually cancer.

But when medical paranoia isn't involved, Alba's pretty psyched to have the Internet around as a mom and an entrepreneur -- like last week, when she had to Google when a tetanus shot is necessary after her kid's mishap at Disneyland.
"The village that helps raise your kids these days is online," Alba said. "It takes a lot to raise kids and try and do everything right, so you do rely heavily on consumer reviews and bloggers that are uploading how to use something."
Alba's commitment remained strong during her five word acceptance speech, "Guts. Heart. Passion. Drive. Wifi."
So heed Alba's advice and be sure you use the Internet's power for good and not evil.
