#myths or #facts ? 
Here, we reveal the truths.

Myth 1: Peeling fruits and veggies : Fruit and vegetable skins contain beneficial nutrients and fiber. Washing them thoroughly before consumption is essential, but peeling removes these nutrients.

Myth 2: Getting an X-ray increases #cancer risk: Medical X-rays emit low levels of radiation, which pose a minimal cancer risk compared to other sources of radiation exposure. The benefits of diagnosing medical conditions outweigh the risks.

Myth 3: Cracking joints leads to #arthritis : Painless joint cracking is harmless and doesn't cause arthritis. However, if joint cracking is painful, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions.

Myth 4: Chocolate causes #acne : Despite decades of research, there has been little proof that single foods like chocolate directly cause acne. Evidence linking chocolate consumption to acne is inconclusive. While limiting chocolate intake may benefit some individuals prone to acne, it's essential to maintain a balanced diet for healthy skin.

Myth 5: Eating #garlic  repels mosquitoes: There's no scientific evidence that eating garlic prevents #mosquito  bites. Physical deterrents and repellents are more effective in preventing mosquito-borne illnesses.
