karim17 discovered 6 months ago- A study published in the December 2007 British Medical Journal tweaked physicians on their acceptance of some widespread medical beliefs that might now be reclassified as old wives' tales. Here's a rundown

- Its great to see stuff like this . It just goes to prove that people are like sheep. They dont question things and respond insteadto their own fears.

- A lot of people say Andrew Weil is more of a salseman than an alternative health expert. The bottom line is that he is promoting and popularizing ways to prevent disease instead of diagnosis and mitigation. As with anything else, you can't believe everything someone says. Read between the lines.

- From the page: "Ask your doctor how much water you should drink or why you couldn't keep your eyes open after Thanksgiving dinner, and you're likely to get the same misinformation your mother-in-law might dispense. A study published in the December 2007 British Medical Journal tweaked physicians on their acceptance of some widespread medical beliefs that might now be reclassified as old wives' tales. Here's a rundown:"

- This is a sad website when they list their #1 myth as you needing to drink 8 glasses of water/day. You definitely need MORE than 8 glasses of water per day NOT COUNTING milk and other things that you ingest since your body uses water to digest those foods. In fact it takes EIGHT TIMES as much water to digest protein as it does carbs or fat. Your hydration needs are raised even further if you conduct any vigorous physical activities (which everyone should do 6 days/week). Just sad that this misinformation is spread by supposed doctors.

- From the page: "We use only 10 percent of our brains: This is a real oldie that traces its history back to 1907, but didn't originate, as once believed, with Albert Einstein. Now that we know much more about neuroscience than we did 100 years ago, we can say for sure that we use much more than 10 percent of the brain, say the BMJ researchers. In fact, high-tech methods of studying the brain have not identified any inactive areas." ... Shedding the light of truth onto commonly held misperceptions is always a valiant effort ...
