25 MORE Health And Body Facts That Are Actually WRONG!

Ready for more health myths to debunk? Read on to learn about the real facts about your body!

NOT TRUE: MSG will make you sick.


This is often called the “Chinese restaurant syndrome.” But according to the American Chemical society, “MSG can temporarily affect a select few when consumed in huge quantities on an empty stomach, but it’s perfectly safe for the vast majority of people.”

NOT TRUE: Sitting too close to a TV is bad for your eyes.


Old TVs produce X-rays, which are bad for you. However, newer models don’t produce X-rays, and the worst that can happen to you is experiencing some eye fatigue.

NOT TRUE: Starve a fever, feed a cold.


Limiting the amount of food you eat will hurt your immune system even more, and you might end up feeling sicker. Instead, when you have either a fever or a cold, eat whatever you can to gain strength and drink lots of fluids.

NOT TRUE: Stress will give you high blood pressure.


Acute stress may temporarily increase your blood pressure, but it’s not a main cause of hypertension. The main causes are smoking, a bad diet, genetics, and other bigger factors.

NOT TRUE: Sugar causes diabetes.


Diabetes is a complex disease that can’t be caused by sugar alone. However, weight gain and consuming lots of sugar has been associated with a higher risk for diabetes, so it’s best to cut the sugar and maintain a healthy lifestyle to be on the safe side.
