According to Healthline, our world is pervaded with all sorts of information and you need to carefully select the ones you will believe. There are lots of health lies you need to debunk and some of them include;
. Cracking your fingers causes arthritis
The belief that cracking your fingers can give you arthritis is a lie. Arthritis evolves when the cartilage around the joint breaks down and allows the bones to rub concurrently. When you crack your knuckles, you’re pulling your joints apart. This stretch induces an air bubble to form in the fluid, which eventually pops, creating that familiar sound. Cracking your fingers cannot cause arthritis in any way.
. Dirty toilet seats can transmit STDs
This is another life you should not believe. STDs can be induced by viruses, bacteria, or parasites. Only parasitic STDs like crabs (pubic lice) or trichomoniasis have any real likelihood of being transmitted by sitting on a dirty toilet seat. And even then, the likelihood is extremely low. Despite this fact, make sure you stay clean.
. Antiperspirants and deodorants can cause cancer
There have been claims that antiperspirants and deodorants encompass harmful, cancer-causing substances, like parabens and aluminium, which can be absorbed by your skin when you use them. But the research simply doesn’t back this up. Everyone should take note of this.
. All fat is bad
All fat is not bad because fat stored in the body is used for energy, cushioning, warmth, and other things, and some dietary fat is even necessary for your body to absorb certain fat-soluble vitamins. This is another lie you need to debunk.
. Drinking alcohol in any amount dumbs you down
Research has shown that drinking small to moderate amounts of alcohol doesn’t alter cognitive ability, working memory, or motor skills in young adults. Everyone should take note of this.
