25 MORE Health And Body Facts That Are Actually WRONG!

NOT TRUE: Drinking more will cure your hangover.

You know how they say the best way to stave off a hangover is to stay drunk? This doesn’t really work, as you’re dehydrating your body more. The best hangover cure is lots of water during and after your drinking spree.

NOT TRUE: Eating before drinking will keep you sober.

Nope, the food will only delay the alcohol entering your bloodstream. However, having food in your stomach will help you absorb the alcohol more slowly, thus limiting the effects of tomorrow’s hangover.

NOT TRUE: Frogs and toads will give you warts.

The human papillomavirus is what gives people warts, and only humans get it. However, it’s easy to spread warts by touching someone who has warts.

NOT TRUE: Green snot = bacterial infection; yellow snot = viral infection.

The color of your snot doesn’t determine whether you have a bacterial or viral infection. Any color warrants a visit to the doctor.

NOT TRUE: Milk is really good for you.

Multiple studies have shown that milk doesn’t really have an association with healthier bones and less bone fractures.
