To this day I always spit out my gum in the bin.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The fact about milk and calcium was surprising as history and generations have long believed this fact as true. It goes to show how powerful and influential advertising and marketing from and milk companies can be.

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.
