Almost all of us believe in these myths and live keeping them in mind. Let's dispel the most popular myths once and for all!
#1
Cancer Research UK says that there is no harm for your health. The only function of a microwave is to heat food, which it executes perfectly.
#2
In fact, it depends on how dirty your floor is. However, if you dropped your food on a dirty floor, be sure that it will become contaminated in milliseconds.
#3
We believe that by drinking milk we make our bones stronger and our teeth healthier but according to the Medical Research Journal, too much milk can make mortality rate and fracture cases higher.
#4
The results of a medical experiment published in the American Medical Association Journal proved that chocolate doesn’t influence our skin.
#5
Apples are full of vitamin C and fibre but, unfortunately, it’s not enough to protect your organism from various viruses.
#6
It’s also a myth. A research from the American Board of Medicine Journal shows that there is no connection between cracking knuckles and arthritis. Arthritis is a typical disease of 50-89 years of age groups.
#7
It’s a complex disease and sugar is not the main cause of diabetes. Still The American Diabetes Association believe that too much sugar can increase the risk but there is no direct evidence that sugar can cause diabetes, so to avoid the disease you don’t have to cut sugar off from your diet.

Cracking your knuckles won't cause you to have arthritis, but it will cause you to have big knuckles. I found that out the hard way.

Janette Evans, all carbohydrates are broken down after consumption by our body to simple sugars. Therefore, our body does not recognize a difference.

Odd thing about milk, though I'm not at all lactose intolerant in the medical sense, I hate it and drinking a glass would make me feel ill - I don't even add it to coffee. Yet my all time favourite food is cheese, which is made of - yes, go figure!
Julie Domaille
I did believe chocolates make for bad skin
