Things You've Heard a Million Times That Are Actually Not True

I remember feeling like a ninja when I was a kid, swimming in the pool. I’d steal a few bites of a sandwich, stuff my face with chips, and then dive into the pool. I figured, since my mom didn’t see me eating, I was in the clear — didn’t have to wait 30 minutes after eating.

What else have I been lied to about?

Turns out: A lot.
