Completely false thoughts about eating, sleeping, resting (part 1)

According to Techinsider, there are many misconceptions but very popular of people, such as milk that makes bones strong, food that is dropped if picked up is still safe, or humans have 5 senses . .

Milk helps strengthen bones

This is an unbelievably successful advertisement for dairy firms, which makes us think that milk has magic.

There is no relationship between drinking lots of milk (or taking calcium and vitamin D supplements).

The US Department of Agriculture says adults should drink 3 cups of milk a day, to get calcium and vitamin D. However, many studies show there is no relationship between drinking plenty of milk (or calcium and vitamin supplements D) and less fractured bones.

Some studies even show that there is a link between higher mortality rates and, of course, that milk does not have to be responsible for this rate, but milk is certainly not something that is approved.

Organic food is not without pesticides

Organic food does not contain absolutely no pesticides, and it is not really better for you.

Organic food farmers are allowed to use chemicals of natural origin - and in some cases this is worse for the environment than for other synthetic substances. However, the level of pesticides in both organic and inorganic foods is very low, causing no concern when consumed.

In addition, according to a survey of related studies, eating organic foods will not provide any more nutritional benefits than inorganic foods.

Is food safe and picked up safe?

It's so bad when something you really want to eat falls to the floor. But if you pick it up within "one note", is it okay to eat it again?

The 5-second rule is not correct. Bacteria can penetrate food within a millisecond. And tests show that moist foods with water attract bacteria more than dry food, but there is nothing called "safe." Instead, safety depends on how the floor you drop clean food.

Eating chocolate will get acne?

Chocolate does not matter to acne as people think.

For a month, scientists gave dozens of candy bars 10 times the amount of regular chocolate, and dozens of others had fake chocolate bars, which were chocolate-free.

As a result, there is no difference in the skin of these two groups. Thus, chocolate and fat seem to have nothing to do with acne.

Eating an apple a day will not have to see a doctor?

Apples contain vitamin C and fiber.

Apples contain a lot of vitamin C and fiber, both important for health. But that's not all you need.

If a virus or bacterium enters your body, an apple will do nothing to protect you.

Natural sugar as honey is better "industrial sugar"

Incorrect! Because sugar in natural products like fruits and synthetic products like candy is the same."Scientists will be surprised to hear the" superior advantages "of honey compared to sugar, because there is almost a consensus that syrup's biological effects are similar to honey. " Professor Alan Levinovitz said.

The problem is that candies and other related products often contain more sugar than allowed, meaning more calories - that's the difference you need to be cautious of.

Coffee makes you whistle

Increased consumption of coffee may limit the absorption of calcium in the body.

Most studies found no association between coffee consumption and bone growth in children.

In adults, the study found that increased consumption of coffee may limit a little calcium absorption in the body, but the effect is so small that a spoonful of milk will be enough to compensate for the effect of a cup. the coffee.

Eating ice cream makes you feel more cold, sore throat

If you have a cold, you can eat ice cream more easily.

If you have a cold, you can eat ice cream more easily. According to researchers, products such as ice cream or cold milk can actually relieve a sore throat and give you calories when you are sick and don't want to eat.

Sugar and chocolate increase sexual desire

In the middle of the nineteenth century - before sugar was thought to cause diabetes or hyperactivity - sugar was thought to help increase sexual desire in women and children and, more funny, in the poor.

But that's not it. There is no evidence to support this thought - or any kind of food, including chocolate - to increase sexual desire.

Sugar causes hyperactivity in children

Numerous scientific studies have tried and failed to find evidence to support this thought. This misunderstanding probably started in 1974, when Dr. William Crook wrote a letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics, which said: "In the past 3 years I have realized the way . is a leading cause of hyperactivity ".

The letter does not include any scientific research, but it makes people think that the road is "the culprit". However, studies do not support that thought.

Your blood will turn "pale" when there is no oxygen

Blood just looks green because you're looking at it through tissue layers, like a color filter.

Blood is never green. It only turns dark red when there is no oxygen. Blood just looks green because you're looking at it through tissue layers, like a color filter.

People have 5 senses

Looking, smelling, tasting, hearing and touching is just the beginning. Don't forget the feelings of balance, temperature, time as well as feelings inside your body - this feeling helps us not to "rush" into things when it's too late or when it's too hot, cold . and also the feelings of pain.
