The Myth Busters Episode 1

 The Myth Busters

(Episode 1)
Hello, all this is one of my series where I will be exposing myths from all over the world.
Let's Get started!

1.Every living thing dies.

Well, you must be thinking that I am joking here. "This is not a myth?" Well it actually is as everything living in this world does die except the one species of Jellyfish the Turritopsis dohrnii This essentially immortal sea creature reverts back into a juvenile state after adulthood so it can live out yet another life alongside its offspring! Isn't that interesting!!

2.Chameleons change colours to blend in with their surroundings.

Yes, chameleons do have the ability to change colours, but the falsity here lies in why they do so. According to Wired, chameleons change colours to regulate their temperatures or communicate with other chameleons, not to camouflage themselves

3.Sugar causes hyperactivity in children

Many parents will blame their children's rowdy behaviour on an overabundance of sugar, but there's no actual evidence to support those claims. A definitive 1995 meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that sugar in children's diets does not affect their behaviour.

4.The Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from space.

Many people have been told that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from space, but that's just not the case. According to Snopes, this false fact most likely developed as an attempt to convey the grand scale of the wall. From low space at 180 miles high, the Great Wall is not the only visible object, nor is it the most distinguishable NASA images prove you can see "highways, airports, bridges, dams, and components of the Kennedy Space Center." And if you go further into space, the wall can only be recognized in radar images, not with the human eye or even with a photograph.

5.You need to drink at least eight glasses of water every day.

You must be thinking that I am just kidding! but I am not!! 

If you're struggling to get to your eighth glass of water every day, don't feel bad—the quota isn't really a hard and fast rule for healthy living. According to the Mayo Clinic, the amount of water you need daily depends on several different factors, like your overall health, your activity levels, and where you live. No single number applies to humans across the board—some people may be perfectly hydrated with fewer than eight glasses and others might need more.

Ok so if you all liked these myths getting deflated then, stay tuned for more coming up every Tuesday and Thursdays!!

Till then bye!😀😄
