Här kommer ett gäng, eller närmare bestämt två, myter åtföljt av fakta. Den första blev jag ständigt matad med som liten kommer jag ihåg!

The Myth

Reading in poor lighting damages your eyesight.

The Truth

If you’ve been switching out your bedroom bulbs for industrial-strength floodlights in an effort to preserve your eyesight, you’ll be relieved to learn that this myth - regardless of what your mother says - is false! The evidence? Back in the day, our ancestors did all their reading by the light of a flickering candle flame and their eyesight didn’t appear to suffer!

The Myth

The average person uses only 10 percent of their brain.

The Truth

Although some days you’d swear that your brain isn’t running full steam ahead, multiple brain imaging studies have shown that there are really no inactive parts of the brain. And, while it’s true that certain areas are responsible for certain mechanisms or respond more excitedly to certain stimuli, experiments with lobotomies (excision of portions of the brain to cure mental illness) have shown that reducing the size of the brain can have extremely damaging consequences.
