keeps the doctor away was a ploy used by Apple farmers during a time of
prohibition apples were mainly used for hard cider before the 1910s and when
Prohibition was in effect no one was eating apples so they employed the use
of that saying to entice people to buy more apples and although apples are

number 13 meals the whole thing about three meals and a big breakfast is false
in fact having smaller meals and intuitively eating when you are hungry
and stopping when you are close to full is actually much better for you but food
is addictive and many people binge eat or gorge on food you don't necessarily
have to eat three meals a day there are lots of great diets out there which
consist of multiple small meals throughout the day while other diets
consist of intermittent fasting including fasting periods with minimal
meals throughout the day the diet that works for you all depends on your
preference number 12 msg msg tends to get a bad rap
so any restaurant that employs the use of msg is avoided and any foods with
labels that say no MSG is quickly consumed but in reality MSG is no worse

number eight Dunkin Donuts surprisingly America does not actually run on Dunkin
Donuts contrary to the slogan but you can't deny a nice glazed donut for
breakfast lunch and or dinner although I don't know how healthy that would be
number seven SeaWorld SeaWorld regularly pushes the
idea that orca whales who live in captivity typically live to 25 or 35
years old which means that they live longer in captivity than in the wild but
this is false since some wild orcas have lived to be over 70 years old
number six carrots the myth that carrots improve eyesight was actually
disseminated by the British in World War two because they had just recently
invented the radar and they wanted the Germans to think that there increased
accuracy was due to carrots and not advanced technology number five
engagement rings the fact that an engagement ring is only good if it's
worth three months of salary is absolutely bonkers firstly everyone is
paid a different amount so three months worth of salary is arbitrary and second
if someone is only going to marry you based on the price tag of a ring then
that marriage probably won't last very long although it may be nice to have an
engagement ring that is expensive there is more to love about getting married
than just an expensive ring one common misconception is that a person's
engagement ring has to be extravagant this is something capitalists and
jewelry makers want people to believe because it gets them to buy into the
idea and spend ridiculous amounts of money on engagement rings if this is one
of your beliefs you may want to reconsider it jewelry stores know what
they're doing and they are taking advantage of the idea that engagement
rings always have to be expensive number four the dairy industry in Canada
the dairy industry is heavily protected so growing up you always see ads where
they push children to drink milk they always advertise that consumption
of milk is integral to optimizing health and they always push it to children
because that way they will spin their whole lives consuming milk

caused by saturated fats is actually untrue in reality it is highly processed
sugars such as fructose that is horrible for your health
turns out big sugar companies fund research and bribe researchers in order
to appeal to the general public number two Napolean people generally think that
Napoleon was short but in reality the French and British people used different
measurements but according to how stuff works he was actually average height for
the time but he is often painted in the presence of the guard who were generally
extremely tall number one bottled water bottled water is usually better for you
pure and is safer to drink most cities or towns do not have boil water
advisories but tap water is still not as clean or as pure as bottled water
however it is important to keep in mind that plastic does expire now that you've
