Debunking Old Myths

My Grandmother always told me that I had to eat the crust, the crust of bread that every kid throws away since we think it's yucky, because if I didn't I wouldn't be able to whistle.

Okay, I was young...and gullible...and I believed her.  I ate it and soon I could whistle.  Who's to say that I wouldn't be the whistler I am today without eating that crust.

At any rate, there are so many 'old-wives' tales or myths out there.  I'm sure you have yours, but here are some I've run across that deserve DEBUNKING!

I didn't know that.....

- Body hair grows back thicker when you shave it.

- Reading in dim light ruins your eyes.

- Peeing on a jelly fish sting will soothe the pain.

- Calorie-counting is all that matters for weight management.

- Everyone needs 8 hours of sleep per day.

- You can catch a cold from cold and/or wet weather.

- More heat escapes through your head that other uncovered parts of your body.

- It's dangerous to wake a sleepwalker.

WRONG - WRONG- and, WRONG!  Scientists say to all of these...phooey!

Consider them....DEBUNKED!
