You must have often heard from your elders that once you pull out a grey hair, 10 more grows in its place. But trust me girls and guys it’s nothing more than a fiction. Plucking a grey hair will simply get you one new in its place, not 10. Only one hair can grow per follicle.
Chocolates can give you spots! Frightened? Well, trust me guys even this statement holds no truth in itself. It is mere fiction. Always keep in mind that acne is caused by hormones and their effect on sebaceous glands, not diet. An unbalanced diet may make the condition worse, but there is nothing to link chocolate and spots.
Do you think that going out with wet hair can give you cold? Well it is 100 percent wrong. Keep in mind that you can catch a cold if you come into contact with the cold virus.
Do you think that sugar intake can make your child hyperactive? Parents this is a fiction. You will be surprised to read that trials conducted o children with different sugar levels have not shown behavioral differences between kids who had sugar and those who did not.
It is often said that reading in dark damages your eye-sight. But the fact is that dim light can cause eye strain. The effects are not the permanently damaging one for everyone as per experts.
