Staying out in the cold will give you a cold
Colds are caused by viruses, either from inhaling infected air droplets sneezed or coughed by someone infected, or by touching something that an infected person has touched and transferring it to your mouth or nose. You don’t get colds from cold air or wind, but the viruses that cause them are more active in the winter- which is why more people get them in the colder months.

Chocolate causes acne
Acne is formed when oil glands in the skin make too much of a waxy substance called sebum that can clog pores along with dead skin cells. This allows bacteria to grow and irritate the blocked pores and lead to the red, swollen appearance. Over washing can cause further inflammation too, so a good balance is key. Studies have disproved the chocolate link, though stress has been shown to cause outbreaks.

Knuckle cracking leads to arthritis
The popping sound when someone cracks their knuckles is caused by bubbles bursting in the fluid that lubricates joints. When the bones are pulled apart, the capsule containing this fluid is stretched and can “pop”. A study of 74 people who habitually cracked their knuckles and 226 people who didn’t found no difference in rates of arthritis.

Sugar makes children hyperactive
Obesity and cavities are much bigger concerns for children having too much sugar than hyperactivity. At least 12 double blind studies have been conducted that observed how children react with diets containing different levels of sugar. None of them could tell the differences between the children who had and had not consumed the most sugar.

The US governmeny has commissioned two pharmaceutical companies to fast track a vaccine for the swine flu, and have designated young children as the first in line to receive them.  The problem with any forced vaccine is just that, it's a forced vaccine.  Vaccines are primarily dead or weakened viruses, with the intent of getting your body ready to fight off the real thing.  The difference is that vaccines include a plethora of other chemical agents, and ingredients designed to make the body go over the top in searching out and destroying any viruses.  Flu vaccines alone contain ingredients also present in antifreeze and formaldehyde.  The additive in these swine flu vaccines that seems to be causing the most stir is squalene.  Squalene has not been approved for this use in the US, and actually caused rheumatoid arthritis when injected into rats.  The real problem is that squalene occurs naturally in the body, and when it's used in a vaccine it will cause the body to seek it out where ever it may be hiding, and destroy it.  This can lead to all sorts of other long term problems.  Maybe Alec Baldwin was right.  Maybe it's time to move to France.
