We’ve been out of town, so for this post here’s an interesting article from researchers at the British Medical Journal. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably believed some of these myths for years!

  • We use only 10% of our brains
  • Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
  • Shaving hair causes it to grow back faster, darker, or coarser
  • Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
  • Eating turkey makes people especially drowsy
  • Mobile phones create considerable electromagnetic interference in hospitals.
