Health magazine has the real facts about common health misconceptions:
- You don’t have to drink 8 glasses of water a day in addition to all the other fluids you consume
- Stress doesn’t turn your hair gray. We gray according to our genetics.
- Reading in poor light doesn’t damage your eyes.
- A cup or two of coffee a day isn’t harmful. As a matter of fact it has healthful benefits.
- “Feed a cold, starve a fever” has no medical validity. Fluids will keep mucus thinner and and help loosen congestion.
- Fresh food isn’t ALWAYS better than frozen.
- Eggs aren’t necessarily bad for you. One egg contains 213 milligrams of cholesterol, but it also offers lean protein and vitamins A and D. Just watch your total cholesterol intake.
- Getting wet and cold won’t cause you to get sick…. unless you get so cold that you suffer from hypothermia.
- You won’t get sick from lead in lipstick.

I like my coffee too, and I don’t see any bad effects. Actually I drink lattes a lot, and I think the calcium in the milk is good for me.
