The article from MSN debunks several common health myths. It clarifies that cracking your knuckles does not cause arthritis, but rather the sound comes from gas bubbles collapsing in the synovial fluid. It also addresses the myth that you need to drink eight glasses of water daily, explaining that hydration needs vary by individual and can be met through various fluids and foods. Another myth debunked is that sugar causes hyperactivity in children; studies show no significant link between sugar intake and increased activity levels. The article also tackles the belief that eggs are bad for your heart due to cholesterol, noting that dietary cholesterol has less impact on blood cholesterol than previously thought.

Each myth is countered with scientific evidence or expert opinion to provide a clearer understanding of health and wellness.
