Health Myth or Fact?

Due to the fact that we’re all exposed, almost daily, to various health facts many of us see ourselves as unqualified experts on the human body. Some of us even advise others on what to do in various health cases based on this knowledge, but is something passed on from one person to another actual truth? To answer this question, the next quiz will test your knowledge of general health issues and examine whether you can distinguish between "facts" we have all heard and truths that have been scientifically researched and established. Good luck!
