Health myths spread quickly and persist stubbornly, sometimes even across generations: Do you believe that using your smartphone in the dark harms your eyes? Or are you still convinced that you can sweat out the flu? We dispel medical myths and replace prejudices with facts.
Science can also suddenly disprove what was previously believed to be true through research: Does frozen vegetables really contain fewer vitamins than fresh ones from the shelves? Is red meat actually unhealthy? We provide context and medically review what is true about these health myths.
