It turns out that:
- Poinsettias are not poisonous after all. Reports from poison control centers do not support the warnings. Animals fed with the plant don't keel over.
- The suicide rate in the US is actually lower during the winter than the summer. Not true that suicide rates go up during the holidays.
- Children who consume large amounts of sugar don't get more hyper. Let's hope grandmothers don't get a hold of this study.
- Not wearing a hat does not cause you to lose excessive amounts of body heat.
