5 Surprising Holiday Health Myths

The current issue of the British Medical Journal cites five fears that can officially be crossed off the holiday worry list.

Myth 1: Sugar makes kids hyperactive.
Myth 2: Suicides increase over the holidays.
Myth 3: Poinsettias are toxic.
Myth 4: You lose most of your body heat through your head.
Myth 5: Eating at night makes you fat.

I guess its good news for those who believed in the myths mentioned here. Now that they are busted, we have at least 5 less worries this holiday. =D

Oh, since Myth 5 is busted, supper anyone?

Details on the myth here.
