How true are these health myths?
Published Wednesday 2 May 2018

Fact checked by Jasmin Collier   

Throughout the centuries, many health myths have arisen. Some are tried, tested, and taken as fact, but others are nothing more than fantasy. In this article, we debunk some of the latter.
 
Do we need eight glasses of water every day? And are eggs bad for the heart? We investigate these myths.

Health-related myths are common and arise for a variety of reasons.

Some may be "old wives' tales" that have been passed from generation to generation, which somehow escape being challenged outside scientific and medical professions.

Don't they sort of give it away by calling them "myths"?
