Knocking Down Myths

Just read a funny book called "Don't Swallow Your Gum!" by Dr. Aaron Carroll and Dr. Rachel Vreeman about some of the myths we've believed all these years. Here are some of the 'fun facts'. Did you know:

- If you shave your hair it will NOT grow back faster and thicker.

- Vitamin C, Echinacea, and Zinc will NOT help you prevent getting a cold.

- Walkers do NOT help your baby learn how to walk faster.

- Sugar does NOT make kids hyper.

- If you pick up food within five seconds of hitting the floor, it IS NOT safe.

- You do NOT have to wait an hour after you eat before swimming.
