I was very surprised to find out that the calcium from milk isn't necessarily good for you and it can actually deplete your already stored calcium, when you drink milk the calcium that you already have stored in your bones needs to be released to break down the acidity of the milk - amenda

I always grew up thinking that lightning could only strike something once. However, the video showed me that is not the case at all. I was aware that it would aim for taller objects, but thought that a tree for example would only be hit once. Knowing that the Empire State Building gets hit 25 times on average per year was baffling.

This one caught me by surprise as i always was told as a kid and growing up that drinking milk will make your bones stronger. But now after watching that, it is crazy to think that milk isn't the best source of calcium for my bones, but instead broccoli, kale and spinach. I knew that exercise is a way to increase bone strength.

i thought it was crazy that calcium in milk isn't actually beneficial for your bones as i was told for ages that it was what made you grow tall and make your bones stronger, even medical professionals expressed these same thoughts

The myth i found interesting is that milk isn't actually benefiting our bones. With knowing this information has made me think more about the fact that this myth could have been entirely made up by the dairy industry. -Hannah Alexander

The myth of gum taking seven years to digest in our bodies has always scared me when I would accidentally swallow it. To hear that we don't actually digest it at all due to it being made from rubber like polymers and it passes through was really interesting.

I was shocked by the milk debunking! I was always told growing up that milk strengthened your bones. As well as the one about cracking your joints, growing up I was always told by all of my grandparents that I would get arthritis. - Jasmin

I was surprised with the milk/calcium myth. I had no idea that it actually reduces calcium in the bones. - Milly

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised to hear that swallowing a piece of gum does not actually take 7 years to digest. If you were to swallow it, it would just pass through your body as gum was made from rubber like polymers that your body can't break down. As a kid I was always scared of what would happen if I swallowed gum by accident, my parents would make up stories saying that a tree would grow out of my mouth but generally speaking it isn't as harmful as I'd thought it would be.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it surprising that milk is not actually an effective source of calcium and that exercising regularly is a far better way of maintaining healthy bones! Also the fact that swallowed gum does not actually take 7 years to digest and can not be broken down by the body due to the rubbery polymers.

some of these myths are old wives tales but the one that really got me was the fact about milk and how it actually reduces your calcium in your bones!

# data[].attributes.body
The misconception that the calcium in milk is good for your bone health was one I found particularly interesting because I remember not liking it as a child but drinking it because I thought it was good for me. Interesting that I would have been better off just exercising or eating vegetables as I wouldn't have thought these would have had an impact on calcium or bone strength - Ashleigh H

The brain cell myth was surprising and interesting - I had been exposed to the idea that our brains are plastic before, and that they could do incredible things in the face of adversity, but it'd always been framed within the knowledge that no new brain cells developed.

I was always told that chewing gum takes seven years for our bodies to digest it, so I was quite surprised to hear that is wrong. Our bodies don't break it down either, it just passes through, which I thought was interesting.

I found that shocking to know that the body has to balance out the acidity of the milk and reduces the calcium in the bones !

This whole video included many things that I was told as a child such as making sure to drink plenty of milk to make your bones grow strong and not to crack your knuckles. The one about drinking milk to get stronger bones was a fascinating because I did not know that it was simply things such as spinach and exercise that actually increased your bone strength and not milk.

I was always told milk made your bones stronger and was good for you. I never thought to question this because I heard it from so many people. I was shocked to find out it can be actually be detrimental to your bones. Hearing broccoli, spinach and kale were high in calcium was also a pleasant surprise.

The idea that milk at best is not the best medium for calcium absorption, and at the worst can deplete calcium in the body is quite surprising. As a child I did not like milk, but was encouraged by my parents to regularly drink milk. As an adolescent, I developed a small habit of drinking milk to grow more and have stronger bones. Looking at the padlet board, it is surprising how pervasive the myth of milk being the best calcium source is.

My parents used to always tell my sister and myself to always drink milk and the left over milk in our cereal bowls to ensure that our bones would be strong and not go frail and weak , and now i always hear them say it to my younger sister so it really shocks me , especially when it said it can deplete calcium

I was surprised about the information regarding cracking your knuckles does not lead to arthritis. During my younger years, I was always told by family that it is bad for your fingers and can cause long-term damage.

I found both the milk and lighting myths quite interesting. I was always told to drink milk for my bones by my parents and in my head it seemed to make sense although after watching the video clearly this isn’t right. I also found the lighting myth educational as I didn’t realise lighting will just hit whatever is tallest a few time and then move on to the next tallest object.

As a kid and even now I dispise milk. I've always hated it. My parents would always highly encourage me to drink milk when I was a kid by telling me my boned would become weak and frail. Im happy that I can prove them wrong now

When I was a kid, I was always told by my mum and Nan that it was so important to drink milk, so I could have strong and healthy bones.

It's really interesting that you get a better calcium supply from green vegetables!
- Amber Robbie

Definitely the milk. I grew up drinking a glass of milk every day because mum made me but when I was older I stopped because I don't like it. It's interesting to know that you can get better calcium supplies from kale, which is actually pretty yummy. I was also surprised about the excercise bit of that one.

As a kid I was told over and over again to finish all my milk other wise I would have weak bones so I was surprised to find out that it isn't as effective as I thought.  I was also very surprised that people actually think we only use 10% of our brains. - Abby Costin

I thought this was an interesting fact and I was quite shocked to find out it wasn't true in high school. It was disproven for me a couple of years ago when a friend mentioned it had to do with the skin shrinking, revealing more of the nail rather than growing. An interesting reminder through the science myths video!
