LISTENING- COMMONLY-HELD BELIEFS

IF YOU ARE WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT, WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU EAT, NOT WHEN YOU EAT IT. A CALORIE AT MIDDAY IS NO DIFFERENT FROM A CALORIE AT MIDNIGHT

BEING EXPOSED TO COLD TEMPERATURES LOWERS OUR BODY’S DEFENCES, SO THAT MEANS THAT IF YOU GET COLD, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO BECOME INFECTED BY A COLD, OR TO DEVELOP A COLD IF YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN INFECTED

METAL PIPES ARE EXCELLENT CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY, AS IS TAP WATER

READING IN THE DARK OR IN BAD LIGHT CAN CAUSE A TEMPORARY STRAIN ON THE EYES, BUT IT RAPIDLY GOES AWAY ONCE YOU RETURN TO BRIGHT LIGHT

SOME LUCKY PEOPLE PRODUCE CHEMICALS WHICH EITHER PREVENT MOSQUITOES FROM DETECTING THEM OR WHICH ACTUALLY DRIVE THEM AWAY

BOTTLED WATER (MINERAL WATER) ISN´T SUBJECTED TO THE SAME REGULAR TESTING THAT TAP WATER IS, AND IN SOME TESTS THAT WERE DONE IN THE U.S A THIRD OF THE SAMPLES ANALYSED WERE CONTAMINATED
