chewing it until you’re close to a
garbage can if you’re desperate find a
scrap of paper and wrap it up and then

before but if you find yourself in a
life-or-death situation where swallowing
gum is your last resort
then whatever go for it swallow your gum
now it’s true the gum is non-digestible
meaning that your stomach acid can’t
break it down but it’s not going to stay
in your stomach for seven years if you

system and comes out the other end with
all the other waste there’s no special
division in your stomach where gum goes

me in the code room in five four three
two now myth number four healthy teeth
are white look at those pearly whites
it’s a common expression used to
compliment someone smile that the
average person rarely stops to consider
store shelves are covered in whitening
toothpastes and dental strips that
promise to give your teeth are healthy
shine and eliminate unsightly yellow
staining breaking-news teeth are
naturally yellow yes coffee and
cigarettes can lead to staining but
teeth are not meant to be white that can
only be achieved by bleaching I know you
probably hear this all the time from
your food but you must bleach it
something cuz that is one dazzling smile

the piece you of a bright white smile
can actually damage the protective
enamel on your teeth alright let’s see
those pearly
I’m a piranha myth number three sitting
too close to the TV will damage your
eyes while kids the medical
professionals have weighed in and here’s
the verdict
you’re not going to permanently damage
your eyes by sitting too close to the TV
eyestrain can result from watching too
much television but the same issue will
arise if you stare at anything for too
long or if you read in the dark
eye strain doesn’t cause permanent
damage just temporary exhaustion for
sitting too close
TV set make me go blind in a million
years the parental guide line dates back
to the time of early cathode ray tubes
when parents were legitimately worried
about the potential effects of radiation
on their children oh and speaking of
eyes carrots don’t help you see better
it’s good for your eyesight they’re a
good source of vitamin A which is
essential for ocular health but they
won’t give you 20/20 vision
Madison myth number two cracking your
knuckles leads to arthritis it’s fun to
try and imagine the origin of a myth in
the case of this little piece of fiction
chances are someone simply made it up to
stop their friend from annoyingly
cracking their knuckles but in reality
there is no evidence linking knuckle
cracking to arthritis one doctor Unger
reported having cracked the knuckles in
his left hand twice daily for 50 years
without ever cracking the knuckles on
his right hand
the end result no difference in the two
hands we know anecdotal evidence
erroneous erroneous erroneous on both
counts our Lord here we go but various
large scale studies have been performed
over the years and they have
consistently failed to find any
correlation or Casualty between knuckle
cracking and arthritis arthritis 5
myth number one you only have five
senses no we’re not talking about the
sixth sense
the myth that we have five senses isn’t
a government conspiracy to protect us
from our true potential it’s just a
simplification of the numerous human
sensory systems that help us understand
the world as a kid you learn about sight
smell touch taste and hearing they’re
all real but also a lumping together of
various less easily explained systems
touch is actually many different senses
including pain pressure and temperature
proprioception is a sense of how our
body parts relate to each other our
sense of balance and spatial sense is
thanks to the vestibular system in our
ears in reality we have anywhere between
nine and twenty-one senses depending on
who you ask
you guys ever agree out anything so how
many of these myths did you believe
every single one of them for more
factual top tens and top fives that
won’t damage your eyes be sure to
