The ultimate myth-busting collection of quirky and curious facts about your body and health
In 2009, Drs. Aaron E. Carroll and Rachel C. Vreeman explored a wide range of myths and misconceptions about our bodies and health in the media sensation, Don't Swallow Your Gum! , featured on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, and in The New York Times, USA Today, and more.
Now, they're delving into a whole new collection of myths based on the latest scientific research, including:
• Eggs give you high cholesterol.
• You should stretch before you exercise.
• Kids in day care catch more colds.
• Sit-ups or crunches will flatten your stomach.
• A glass of warm milk will put you to sleep.
With a perfect balance of authoritative research and breezy humor, Don't Cross Your Eyes . . . They'll Get Stuck That Way! exposes the truth behind all of the things you thought you knew about your health, your well-being, and how the body works.
