Stop believing these common food myths! Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?
Did you really think swallowed gum takes seven years to digest? Your digestive system isn’t a landfill; gum passes through like all other food.
And let’s talk carrots—they won’t give you superhuman night vision, no matter how many Bugs Bunny cartoons you’ve seen.
Oh, and swallowing watermelon seeds? Don’t worry, you’re not planting a garden in your stomach; you’re not a human chia pet.
As for turkey, tryptophan won’t knock you out unless you eat a whole farm in one sitting—it’s probably Aunt Edna’s boring stories putting you to sleep.
Lastly, coffee stunting your growth? Puh-lease. There’s zero evidence for that, so sip away.
So you can pop gum and chug coffee without fearing you’ll stay short or become a watermelon farmer.
