Popular superstitions, urban legends, and myths die hard. Once a few thousand (or a few million, really) people start to believe something, it never quite seems to go away. Of course, many of these commonly-known myths are flat-out false. Take, for example, the threat of rain on your wedding day—to reference a famous song. Just because the clouds open up doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed to divorce! The two have nothing in common!
Yet people still tread carefully around all kinds of myths and legends. With historical, cultural, and lifestyle stuff, that’s at least partially understandable. Mythmaking is a thing that every culture does, right? But other things are very easily disproved by scientific fact. In those cases, it’s especially frustrating to see baseless myths persist. And that’s what we’re covering today. In this list, we’ll take a look at ten scientific “facts” that are completely phony. Sadly, these ten items simply won’t die out, regardless of how many times they are corrected on the record. Ah, well. At least we’re doing our part here, right?

It’s often recommended as a safer, lighter alternative to regular workouts. However, there is no evidence supporting the idea that yoga is easier on the body. In fact, one study discovered that yoga can lead to injuries at the same rate as sports-related injuries. Astonishingly, around 21% of the injuries in the study were actually worsened by practicing yoga. That rendered the supposedly low-impact practice just as intense as other popular exercise methods. Clearly, it challenges the notion that yoga is a low-impact activity with minimal risk. Yet the belief that yoga is a gentle and harmless exercise option has persisted. People suffering from joint issues and other wear-and-tear problems turn to the mindful exercise regimen to escape further pain. Like everything, it’s best to do it with a professional around. A yogi ought to be able to tell you what exercises can help you and what will only make things worse. But the fact that some athletes find their injuries actually get worse after yoga certainly goes against the grain of what is supposedly “common knowledge.” It just goes to show that every exercise action has consequences for the human body. Even the moves that are supposed to be low-impact! [1] 9 Knuckles Can Be Cracked Arthritis Doctor Explains: CRACKING KNUCKLES GOOD or BAD Once upon a time in California, a young man named Donald Unger faced his mother’s disapproval for his knuckle-cracking habit. She insisted it would cause arthritis. But over the years, the boy never seemed to be affected by cracking his knuckles. And as an adult, Unger came up with a different plan. With unwavering determination and scientific curiosity, he conducted a personal experiment: he cracked the knuckles on his left hand twice daily and left his right hand untouched. His mission? To uncover the truth.
For a remarkable 60 years, Unger persisted. Then, in 2009, he was honored with the Ig Nobel Prize. His groundbreaking research shattered the myth that knuckle cracking leads to arthritis. His left hand was fine—and so was his right. Subsequent studies have further supported his findings too! Now, experts still caution against the practice. They note that while it may not directly cause arthritis, knuckle cracking can potentially result in diminished grip strength and swelling.
But Donald Unger’s personal journey is proof positive that the belief that knuckle cracking leads to arthritis is a myth. His six-decade experiment not only earned him recognition but also totally proved the fallacy wrong. Take that, Mom! [2] 8 Sports Drinks Aren’t Healthy Are Sports Drinks Safe and Effective?
