There’s a myth that people get STDs and other viruses from toilet seats.

Most germs that cause diseases can only live for a very short time on the surface of a toilet seat.The bigger risk is the germs collected on the sink and door handles from people not washing their hands afterwards.

Fat and muscle are not the same metabolic tissues and the one cannot turn into the other.

Instead, when you exercise, the fat burns off and you start building your muscle.

A psychologist interpreted a 1901 German study that suggested that sections of the tongue tastes specific tastes.

This has been debunked with research. Receptors for the basic tastes are found throughout the tongue.

Scientific evaluation of the claim suggests there is no difference in injury rates between those who stretch and those who don't.

Stretching probably will not hurt you, so keep doing it if it makes you feel great. 

We have all learned to wash hands in warm water. However, it does not fight germs. Water needs to boil to kill off germs.

The time spent rubbing and scrubbing hands is more important for killing germs.

Weight gain caused by eating late is a complex issue with some truth to it.

Some studies indicate that late night eaters overeat because they eat mindlessly when they are tired.

Research reveals that people gain weight because of excess calorie intake and lack of exercise, not because of the proportion of dietary fat or carbohydrates.
