Today I was listening to NPR (I have been doing this a lot, actually.) and found a really interesting story that I wanted to share. Doctor Douglas Camerol "debunks some common beliefs"; the "homegrown" ones your mother always threatens you with when he talks about a recent study done by two Indiana University researchers (Rachel Vreeman and Aaron E Carroll). Let's see there's the one about how reading in the dark will ruin your eyesight or the other one about only using 10% of your brain. We also shouldn't forget that one about drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
Perhaps, we should all be more willing to question the things we hear on a day to day basis, rather than simply accepting them. Personally, I could use a significant amount of improvement in this area.
