Healthbolt Debunks Health Myths
In her characteristically snarky fashion, Liberty Kontranowski from Healthbolt takes the wind out of the sails of seven popular health myths:
- Myth #1 - Eating turkey makes you sleepy.
- Myth #2 - You should drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
- Myth #3 - We use only 10% of our brains.
- Myth #4 - Hair and fingernails grow after death.
- Myth #5 - Shaving makes hair grow back darker and thicker.
- Myth #6 - Reading in dim lights ruins your eyesight.
- Myth #7 - Cell phones interfere with hospital monitors and equipment.
Get the truth. You know you want it.
Which of these myths was most surprising to you? For me, it was reading in the dark, followed closely by the turkey thing. Share yours in the comments!

Hmm, I thought #4 was true, but of course I don’t hang with the dead…
