Hi I thought this might be a cool way to exchange some knowledge. We all hear this stuff from time to time in conversations, urban legends, old wives tales, modern myths, I am going to bust a few here, anyone who reads this is welcome to add their own to the post.

Myth: Reading in low light causes eye problems

Fact: Not true, anymore than listening to something at lower volume strains your ears, there is no medical evidence to support this assertion, read in whatever light is comfortable for you

Myth: Premium gas is cleaner, gives my car more power and better gas mileage, so it’s worth the money.

Fact: Only about 10 percent of cars on the road derive any benefit from the added octane, mostly either older cars or high performance luxury brands ( Acura, Cadilac, Ferrai etc.) This one comes down from the days of carburetion and primitive engine management systems, cars today are very different. Check your owner's manual and go with the recommended octane, if your car does have an occasional "knock" try using fuel injector cleaner( 3 dollars for one bottle) every couple of months. This could save a lot of people a lot $$$$, every year.

Myth: Farm subsidies are needed to save the poor family farmer

Fact: Congressmen who continue to feed this pig, will often hold up a picture of a dilapidated farm house ala "Grapes of Wrath" the truth is that the vast majority of this money goes to Multi-Billion dollar corporations, such as Archer Daniels Midland or absentee Millionaire owners (Doctors, Athletes etc. who own farms as an investment) There are a few lower income folks who get the tiniest pittance of this money but they are very few and far between. Next time you are outraged at paying too much for food at the local supermarket, fire off an email or letter to your state representative.

Myth: "Premium" Dog and Cat Food provides better nutrition than grocery store brands.

Fact: Save your $$$$ all you pay for is the fancy brand name and a label, veterinary studies have shown that these so-called formulated foods provide no more nutrition or health benefits than so-called generic, or grocery store brands

That was a few, I will have more of these later, again anyone who wants to add to this post feel free to do so!
