Sugar causes hyperactivity in children

Image
I have heard many people say that sugar causes children to be hyperactive, but, looks like it is another myth on the list!! Many parents will blame their children's rowdy behavior on an overabundance of sugar, but there's no actual evidence to support those claims. A definitive 1995 meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that sugar in children's diets does not affect their behavior.

My mother has been telling this to me since I was a kid that I shouldn't crack my knuckles because it is not good. I am pretty sure many of you reading his have also been told the same Knuckle crackers of the world can rest easy, at least on the arthritis front, because, according to Harvard Medical School, cracking your knuckles doesn't increase your risk of developing the painful joint condition.

A penny dropped from the top of the Empire State Building could kill someone☠

When I first heard this, I was like - there is no way I am carrying a coin with me when I go up there, after all, I don't want to kill anyone (I don't want to be behind bars😜). But.... what if I was walking under the building and someone accidentally dropped the coin on me?😲 Well, looks like there's no problem if you read the complete post!! According to Scientific American, a penny is too small and flat for it to gain enough natural momentum to make any kind of fatal impact. At most, if you were hit, it might feel like being flicked in the forehead "but not even very hard," Louis Bloomfield, a physicist at the University of Virginia, told Life's Little Mysteries via HuffPost.
