I will tell you some of the myths which most of us believe are real, Let’s Begin …

                                                         BODY

Four Tasting Groups

In addition to the bitter, sour, salty, and sweet flavor groups, your tongue can hear the tasting group known as “umami” which is sweet and fleshy.

Food Before Swimming

Eating just before swimming does not increase the risk of developing muscle cramps. There is a link between alcohol and gluttony, however

Sugar Makes Children Hyper

No, sugar does not cause overheating. Several studies have shown no difference in behavior between children who are given sugary or sugar-free foods, and even sensitive children.

Left and Right Mind

Mental skills are not completely separated from the left and right sides of the brain. In fact, if one hemisphere is injured at a young age, another can take over.

8 Daily Water Glasses

Eight glasses of water per day are not always required. In fact, it varies in weight, quality of work, clothing, temperature, and humidity. In addition, you can get water from food, too.

Sex Hurts Work

There is no scientific basis for the belief that having sex in the days leading up to a sports event reduces performance. In fact, sex can increase testosterone which can help.

Shaving Curls Hair

Shaving does not cause hair to grow thicker, thicker, or darker. In fact, shaving cuts the hair tips and makes them dull, making them feel stiff.

Fixing Conditioners

Hair products cannot “fix” different ends and damaged hair. They can prevent damage, and make the cuticle as smooth as glue to make it look repaired.

                                                  ANIMALS

Red Sight

Bulls are not irritated by the red color, which is applied to capes by matadors. Cattle are dichromats so red does not stand for them. Instead, the matador seems to be a threat.

Blind Bats

Bats are not blind. Although about 70 percent of bat species, especially in the microbat family, use echolocation to navigate, all species of bats have eyes and can see.

Head to Sand

Ostriches do not put their heads in the sand to hide from enemies. This erroneous idea was probably misrepresented by Pliny the Elder (23-79 CE).

Alpha Wolves

There is no such thing as “alpha” in the wolf’s pocket. The wolf pockets act like human families: no sense of position, parents in charge, and no one to overthrow the elders.

Elephant Cemetery

Older elephants that are about to die do not leave their herd and naturally instill in a place known as the cemetery of the dying elephants.

Temporary Flies

Flies live 20 to 30 days, not 24 hours. Some species of flies have a life span that is induced by houseflies. The fly will hatch within 24 hours.

Swallowing Spiders

The urban myth that man swallows a lot of spiders while sleeping in his life has no basis in fact. A sleeping person is making a noise and shaking, which makes the spiders run away.

                                                 FOOD

Chinese Fortune Cookies

Despite being associated with Chinese food, they were introduced in Japan and introduced to the US by the Japanese. Cookies are very rare in China.

Heat Removes Alcohol

Studies have shown that after 2 hours of cooking, 10% of the original alcohol was still there. The amount was not enough to cause intoxication, however.

Espresso vs. Coffee

A regular cup of hot coffee contains more caffeine than a single shot of espresso. In fact, Joe’s very high dose eliminates the amount of caffeine and water.

Spicy Foods Causes Ulcer

Another popular misconception. Evidence does not support the important role of spicy food or coffee in developing peptic ulcers in healthy people.

Metal Breaks Microwaves

Placing metal in the microwave oven does not damage the oven’s electrical equipment. But it is still unsafe! Electric arching makes the metal hot and can damage you.

Carrots Improve Vision

This myth started with World War 2. Although carrots are healthy, they do not give you protection. They can help people with vitamin A see better, though.

Twinkies Never End

Twinkies live on a shelf for about 45 days and only stay on the shelf for about ten days. In any case, they will not always be fresh and eaten for decades.

                                                       HISTORY

The vomiting Romans

Pouring out was not the custom in Roman times. In ancient Rome, an architectural feature called the vomitorium was the entrance to the theater, not a laundry room.

People live up to 30 years

Life expectancy in the Middle Ages and earlier was less than today, but not 30 years. The rate was adjusted for high infant mortality. People usually live to be 65 or older.

Viking horns

There is no evidence that the Vikings wore hats with horns. The image is from Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen opera scanner and is still standing.

Chastity belts

Metal virgins were not invented in the Middle Ages or used for abuse. They were put together in the 18th century from artifacts to sell extra exhibition tickets.

American Columbus

Columbus did not reach any country now part of the United States of America. Most arrivals were on Caribbean beaches.

Salem Witch Trials

False accusers in the trials of Salem witches were not burned at the stake; about 15 died in prison, 19 were hanged, and one was tortured to death. Still, it is very sad.

Cowboy Hats

Cowboy hats were not popular on the West American border, derby or bowler hats are popular hats. The heavy sales after the Civil War changed that.

New World, New Name

The surnames of the immigrants were not American (voluntary, accidental, or otherwise) when they arrived on Ellis Island. There was no law to record aliens at that time.

                                                   SCIENCE
