"The president harbors no hard feelings about it, and the Iraqis have a process that they''ll follow," Perino said. "But he did urge them not to overreact, because he was not bothered by the incident, although it''s not appropriate for people to throw shoes at a press conference, at any leader."

Could yet another study determine the myths involved in the above situation ? In the meanwhile I am going to feed my kids a sugared poinsettia leaf and send them out to play in the blizzard without their hats ! You bettcha !

"Study Busts Conventional Wisdom Myths"

IN YOU''RE DREAMS!

I would walk carefully before I throw out any time proven wisdoms.

The human beast and the human condition are both more complex than all the new doctors put together. The new doctors possess more ego and arrogance than wisdom.

This article should become the "Classic Example" of Big Pharma disinformation. CBS knows where their advertising dollars are coming from.

So much for ''myth busting.'' A real scientist would have pointed out that a cold or wet head - in cool weather - might increase vulnerability to infection (depending on the individual, the temperature differential, and other factors). No surprise to mom, or the survival instructor.

The same scientist might also mention a number of reasons why eating immediately prior to sleep, or during the night, is not a great health plan (regardless of your weight). Again, no surprise to mom.

So, let''s hear it for our moms, who, by and large, DO know what''s best for us!

The article indicates a %u201Cnew study%u201D reports...What new study? Is this the same %u201Cnew study%u201D that claims I can loose 10 pounds a day a get rich quick? This is kind of article I expect to see in check out line magazines that make outrages claims. Please provide at least some information about the study itself.

No, No, No, The LATEST study shows that the only good things are steak and potatoes, with lots of salt and lots of beer.

And you know when you shake hands and touch public bathrooms? it is a good policy to touch your nose and mouth BEFORE you wash hands.

Another myth is just one nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day!

I have eaten immediately after swimming and there were no ill effects.

However, if you are a dim-witted self-promoting hockey mom from a rural state and you shoot moose from a helicopter and can''t remember the name of a single newspaper that you read you can be considered a candidate for president of the United States. Is this true?

I can see Canada from my house.

First - I can''t even believe the idiots that post stupid things on here that have nothing to do with the article. Get a life, morons, and take your stupid games elsewhere. Those of us with some functioning brain cells who actually have something to say about these articles don''t care to hear your childish stupidity.

Now I''ll comment on the idiocy of this article. I have no doubt that it was written and funded by the food and/or pharmaceutical industries, who are completely self-serving in all they do. Most of what you''re told by the media is bought and paid for by these huge, all-about-making-profits-at-any-cost industries.

I am a holistic health counselor by profession, and so I know what I''m talking about here. There is absolutely a connection between sugar consumption and hyperactivity. Not only is that affected by sugar, but also by artificial colors and flavors. I have worked with clients time and time again who are able to improve their health and change their children''s behavior simply through making modifications to their diet. They are also able to maintain a healthy weight. The "things your mothers and grandmothers told you" are often a lot closer to the truth than what you''ll hear from the media or from your doctor.

How about the ''conventional wisdom'' that the Federal Reserve is part of the government?

How come there are millions of people who are waking up to the fact that the Federal Reserve is not part of the government.

At best it regulates the cartel of ''privaate banks'' that compose the Federal Reserve but a ''regulator'' is not power; it''s just a ''stamp of approval''.

The power given to the Federal Reserve under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 is more then the President since it forces us to either ''spend/borrow'' or ''save'' our hard earned money.

That''s why this fallacy that the Federal Reserve is part of the government must be exposed and this private central bank must be shut down.

I suppose as long as I have lived I should have heard that one before. If I did, I don''t remember. Either way is was good for a laugh. A ROTFLMAO laugh. I''ve now posted it as a favorite quote on my facebook page. Thank you
