Modern Science. The Common Facts That Are Actually DEADLY

Some of the beliefs you held as a child are completely wrong, and some of them still influence how people think about health, animals, food, and even crime.This episode debunks some common myths that have somehow survived for decades, from baby birds being abandoned after being touched by humans to frogs boiling alive peacefully, chewing gum remaining in the stomach for seven years, and spiders entering your mouth while you sleep.We also examine more serious misconceptions, including myths about vaccines, depression, OCD, diabetes, cancer, monosodium glutamate (MSG), body weight, and the famous McDonald's lawsuit over hot coffee.Some are just harmless misunderstandings, others can affect how people deal with their bodies, pets, food, or each other.The truth is often stranger, simpler, and far more useful than the myth.
