The myths could have been true, but no one actually did the research to find out. If it sounded true, it was good enough.
Hence, we should always question those “facts” that people give us. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re untrue, but do we really want to make drastic behavior changes based on supposition? I don’t.
I suppose some of them would fall into the “can’t hurt, might help” category, however.
