10 Accepted Health ‘Facts’ That Are Actually False

Myth no. 10: Eating ice cream makes your cold worse

Definitely not true, yet most people still believe such claims. Ice cream makes your cold worse is just a myth. In reality, eating ice cream might ease cold-related inflammation, and it might even help with your sore throat.

Studies have proved that eating ice cream has no negative impact on your cold. So, if you want to have ice cream, you don’t have to wait for your cold to go away. There’s no reason to avoid eating ice cream when you have a cold. Go ahead and satisfy your taste buds with your favorite ice cream!

Takeaway

If the healthcare industry has taught us something is that we can point out different things that were considered normal in the past. Now, most of those things are actually myths, and maybe in a century or so, scientists will debunk others. Until then, it might be a good idea to keep yourself up to date.

Because even though we were raised with “swimming after eating is super dangerous,” that’s definitely not true. So, before making any assumptions, you could check our dearest friend, Google, for some information.
