HA I always knew paper towels were better than air dryers

Whilst perusing my July 2011 O Magazine, I discovered a pretty interesting article entitled "Health Myths - Busted" and it covers 6 topics, thus establishing that:

1. Sitting to close to the screen DOESN'T ruin your eyes
2. Vitamin C prevents scurvy, not colds.
3. Jet hand dryers are actually LESS sanitary than paper towels, and spews germs more than six feet (I've been saying this for years, no one believed me).
4. Nothing in a glass of warm milk helps you sleep better, but it could be a placebo effect for you.
5. Pouring hydrogen peroxide on a wound actually slows the healing process.
6. Green mucus is NOT caused by a bacterial infection, it could be viral also (this one is lame).

Go read the article! I recommend it: Health Myths - Busted

    I'm happy to know that sitting close to the TV doesn't ruin your eyes...Because Brinkly stands RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TV ALL THE TIME and I'm constantly telling her to back away from the TV! Phew. Sigh of relief right there. And I'm right there with you on the paper towels!
