My belief is according to a study that has found out tha many people crave information like a drug.



Is the `my belief is according� part acceptable? It should express: My opinion is based on the fact.....

Hi klafterreith,

To make your sentence complete and more accurate, it would be better to say:

"My belief is that, according to a study, many people crave information like a drug."

Hope that is useful
