5. Cracking Your Knuckles Gives You Arthritis

False. Studies vary in just how many knuckle crackers
there are out there, but it’s anywhere from 25-50% of
the population, with more men than women likely to
partake. For some, it’s a nervous tick, for others, it’s
just a stress reliever. Cracking the knuckles displaces
the air in between joints for about 15 minutes at a
time, after which time they can be cracked again. But
does it cause arthritis? Nope. All it does is irritate the
rest of the people in your office.

6. Your Body Takes 7 Years To Digest 1 Piece Of
Gum

False. At one time or another, you’ve probably
accidentally swallowed a piece of gum, only to be
reminded that it’s going to be sitting in your digestive
system for the next seven years. Luckily, there is
absolutely no evidence to support this claim. In fact,
your body doesn’t digest gum at all. It’s one of those
things that goes right through you.

7. Eating Chocolate And Greasy Foods Causes
Acne

False. There is no correlation between chocolate or
greasy food, and the onset of diagnosed acne. Grease
could potentially clog a pore or two, and if not
properly cleaned, could lead to a pimple here or
there. But not acne, which is believed to be heavily
related to hormonal shifts in the body. So, at least
there’s one less reason to feel guilty for diving into
that box of chocolates.

8. Brain Cells Can Not Regenerate



False. As kids, we were taught not to do drugs for a
myriad of reasons, but one of them was the fear that
you would kill off valuable brain cells that didn’t have
the capabilities of regenerating. This was a standard
belief in the science community for years. But that
changed in 1998, when scientists at the Sweden and
the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California discovered just
the opposite. Their study concluding that the learning
center and memory center of the brain can create
new cells, which has become a huge motivator for
finding a cure to Alzheimer’s Disease. So, there are
still plenty of reasons to remind kids of the dangers
of doing drugs. This just isn’t one of them.

9. Wait An Hour Before Hopping In The Pool

False. There is no evidence to support the claim that
you should wait for full digestion before
recreationally playing or swimming in a pool. Science
shows that any kind of strenuous physical activity is
more difficult to perform on a full stomach. So, if
you’re planning on banging out laps in preparation
for an Olympic swimming event, then sure, wait out
the hour. Otherwise, you’re good.

10. Sitting Too Close To The TV Will Hurt Your Eyes


False. Another myth your mom always told you was
that sitting too close to the television was going to
hurt your eyes. Like any muscle, you can tire out your
eyes. But looking too closely at an object like the
television will not cause any permanent damage. The
only light that can supposedly cause real damage is
light from the sun or laser beams. So, instead of
telling your own kids to back up from the television
because it will hurt their eyes, you can just tell them
the truth: watching farther back is just more
comfortable.

We’re given a lot of rules about our bodies and
health, many of which have been passed down
through generations. The problem is, many of these
rules have no basis in reality. The good news is that
we now live in the information age, in which
separating the truth from the fiction is easier than
ever. This list dispels the myths that we all grew up
hearing and definitely would have helped you to get
in the pool after dinner, a lot faster. But it also
clarifies the ones that just might have a little truth to
them. Find out the truth on whether your knuckle
cracking habit will give you arthritis, or if you really
do use only 10% of your brain.

11. Cold Weather Will Give You A Cold


True and False. Humans can catch colds through
contracting hundreds of different viruses. A germ is a
germ and doesn’t care whether it’s cold or warm. But
is it true that you can catch a cold by forgetting your
hat and gloves at home? Not exactly. Being inside a
warm house with someone infected with a virus will
get you sick a whole lot faster than not bundling up.
However, there are studies that have shown that a
decreased body temperature can interfere with the
immune system, making it harder for the body to
fight against, therefore making you more likely to get
sick.
