Article 11

According to the article” Scientists debunk the myth that you lose most heat through your head.” It is said that most of our body heat is lost through our heads. A cozy hat is obligatory in a cold winter’s day. However, closer inspection of heat loss in the hatless reveals the claim to be nonsense. The scientists have dispelled five other modern myths such like that sugar makes children hyperactive and that snacking at night makes you fat is on similarly thin ice, and some unwelcome news for those hoping to survive the festive excesses by turning to hangover cures. After reading this article, I think rumor is very terrible. Most beliefs are not true but most people will believe them instead of proving them, therefore, rumors spread wider and wider. For example, snacking at night will make you fat; there is one study showing that obese women tended to eat later in the day than slimmer women. But according to another article, "The obese women were not just night eaters, they were also eating more meals, and taking in more calories makes you gain weight regardless of when calories are consumed." As a modern citizen, I think everyone should have ability to judge the truth and false and therefore we won’t get lost in this splendid world.
