Seven Medical Myths

[halloweenjack]

They're just not true. I'd repeated the one about turkey and tryptophan myself just this past Thanksgiving. Whoops!

Turkey must have *something* whatever it may be called. People eat it the day after taking X to help get their serotonin levels built back up.

I'm glad to see the 8 glasses of water and 10% brain debunked, however: I have tested the "shaving makes your hair grow faster" myself. Multiple times.

When I shave my legs every day, I get stubble immediately the next day. The stubble grows quickly into hair. When I let my hair grwow for a longer period of time (I've tested with several weeks, and even several months, yes I know ew) it takes FAR LONGER for stubble to appear. Before every cruise I go on I go at least a month without shaving, and it takes at least two days for stubble to even appear. The one time I went three months without shaving, I didn't get stubble for four days. I can repeat this experiment on demand, so I'm not going to believe their debunk there.
