 01 Common Health Fads

 01 MYTH: Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day

FACT: No need to count cups. Research

shows people who gulp a glass of H2O when
they’re thirsty get enough to stay healthy and
hydrated. Water-rich foods like soup, fruit,
and vegetables and drinks like juice, tea, and
coffee all help you get your fill. You might
need to drink more water if your urine is dark
yellow, you don’t go regularly, you're very
active, or you live in a hot climate.

02 Eggs Are Bad for Your Heart

FACT: Omelet lovers, rejoice. Eating an egg

or two a day doesn’t raise the risk of heart

disease in healthy people. Yes, the yolks have

cholesterol, but for most of us, the amount

found in any one food isn’t as bad for you as

the mix of fats from everything you eat.

What’s more, eggs have nutrients, like

omega-3s, that may lower the risk of heart

disease.
 03 MYTH: You Need a Daily Multivitamin

FACT: You may have heard that a

multivitamin can make up for nutrients that
aren't in your diet. Researchers don’t all agree
on that point. But if your doctor tells you to
take vitamin, do it. And if you’re pregnant,
you need to take folic acid to lower the risk
of birth defects. Still, the best way to get your
nutrients is to eat a diet filled with fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and healthy
oils.

04 MYTH: Cracking Joints Causes Arthritis

FACT: The sound might annoy people around

you, but that’s about all the harm it does. You

may think bones or joints rub together to

cause the noise, but that’s not so. It results

from a gas bubble that forms between the

bones and “pops.” If you enjoy doing it, keep

on. Studies show it doesn’t cause or play a

role in arthritis. If you feel regular or severe

pain when you do it, see your doctor.

 05 MYTH: Apply ice if you burn yourself

FACT: Research shows that applying ice cubes to

minor scalds can actually do more harm than good.
This is because extremely cold temperatures (like
frozen water) can have a frostbite-type effect that
damages the surface of the skin.

You should also avoid greasy home remedies like

butter or mayonnaise as they can trap heat, which
means the skin continues to burn.

On a burned area, it would be best to use running

cool (tap) water. Take some pain relief medication,
and apply an antibiotic ointment and loose gauze to
protect the area from germs.

06 MYTH: Eating garlic keeps mosquitoes away

FACT: There’s no evidence to suggest that eating garlic will keep

the mozzies at bay. A 2005 study investigated this claim and

found that participants got bitten just as much as they did on the

days they didn’t eat any garlic.

Mosquitoes are drawn to people who exhale a lot of carbon

dioxide, and the larger you are, the more carbon dioxide you’ll be

exhaling. That’s why pregnant mothers seem to get bitten more

than kids do. Sweat, high body temperatures and perfume can also

attract mosquitoes.

So, it’s less about what you eat and more about how you protect

yourself. Scented oils like citronella, tea tree oil and lemon

eucalyptus oil are all natural repellants. Mosquitoes are also

drawn to water sources, so make sure there is no standing water

near your home.

 07 MYTH: You Should Remove Sugar Entirely
From Your Diet
FACT: Becky Kerkenbush, a clinical dietician at
Wisconsin’s Watertown Regional Medical Center says she
often has patients tell her that they avoid sugar because it is
bad for them, but “They don’t realize that there are different
types of sugar; that natural sugar can be found in fruit,
vegetables, dairy products and grains.”

She advises them that it’s not the “use of sugar that is the
problem, but the misuse” of it. Misuse examples: the stuff
found in soda, sweets, sugary cereals, flavored yogurts, and
sports drinks.

“I remind people that sugar is not addictive and does not

cause hyperactivity in children,” says Kerkenbush. “A
teaspoon of sugar is 4 grams of sugar. If a cereal has 12
grams of sugar, that is equal to 3 teaspoons. Now imagine a
10 ounce can of soda with 40 grams of sugar — that’s 10
teaspoons of sugar!”
