Someone Asks “What Is A Popular Belief That Has Been Scientifically Proven Wrong?” And People Deliver 30 Illuminating Responses
Interview
The tricky thing with beliefs is that we all think ours are correct. When actually, almost everything we believe, at some point in our lives, will eventually be at least partially wrong.
Not only are we often unaware of it, but we also have no idea of how to determine which of our pieces of common knowledge are incorrect. So when someone asked “What is a popular belief that is scientifically proven wrong?” on Ask Reddit, the responses started rolling in one by one.
From thinking that you can catch a cold by being in cold temperatures to the belief that gum gets stuck in your stomach for eternity, here are the most popular beliefs that are very far from true.
We reached out to Audrey Tang, an award-winning book author, psychologist and spokesperson who shared some very interesting insights into how popular beliefs and common knowledge emerge, how they are passed through generations, and how it all comes down to the fact that humans are social creatures. Scroll down for the interview below!

Homosexuality has been proven to be natural. It's not a disease or whatever. It has been observed in hundreds of species.

And even if it wasn't natural it doesn't effect u so shut up
“Stories have a way of taking on a life of their own, especially in the landscape of social media,” Audrey said. She explained: “Citations are not always given, elements may be changed as the story moves along, and a little bit like gossip, or the 'broken telephone' – eventually a narrative makes its way into popular belief and often is so removed from the original as to be unrecognizable (and example of this is the oft-cited in leadership posts (especially on LinkedIn).”
More importantly, stories are compelling because they give us a sense of completeness. “Research into false memories has shown that when elements of memory are missing we ‘fill in the gaps’ – and this may not be an accurate account.”

You don't have to wait 24 hours to call the police to file a missing person's report. Never wait 24 hours. Every hour that passes means you are less likely to find said person. Dead or alive.
Take me to dinner first 2 years ago
that always confused me. If they consider the first 72 hours the most important, then why would you have to wait for the first 24??
Furthermore, Audrey explained, “We tend to make sense of those gaps based on our world experience at the time – an example of this is, sadly, where a child of divorce may think that a parent left ‘because of them’ – if it has not been explained to them in accessible and understandable language.”
“This is not always the parent’s fault as they too are going through a great deal of emotional upheaval, but dismissing a child’s questions can sometimes lead to the child reconstructing an approximation of what is really going on.”
Related to that, Audrey continues, “When a story resonates with an experience we have been through (or believe we have been through!), we are also more likely to connect with it because of the familiarity.”

Back in the olden days, people just turned 30 or so and died.
The infant mortality rate was just much higher, but if you made it to adulthood, living to be a senior was not that rare.

Exactly. "Life expectancy" simply factoring in infant and childhood mortality. People still got old.

Most dietary information that is widely accepted by the public was from studies that have been proven wrong since the 70s
#7
Goldfish have a three second memory.
They don’t and, supposedly, you can even train them to do tricks.
Audrey argues that research suggests that our brains seem better wired to process and recall facts set out as a story rather than facts alone.
“For example, the colors of the rainbow may be remembered using the mnemonic 'Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain,' and similarly, groups of numbers which can be 'chunked' into memorable dates, e.g,. 1066 instead of 1,0,6,6, are better recalled as well.”
And when it comes to popular myths, Audrey suggests that they may occur through people connecting with them and repeating them. “Perhaps if details are changed to suit the storyteller, again, that story takes on even more strength as more people may relate to it and repeat it,” she told Bored Panda.

Used to be a popular belief that if you sit to close to the tv your eyes will go bad. But Ive recently come to realize that children who sit “too close” to the tv might already have poor vision, but cannot communicate it, so when they go get their eyes checked it appears that the causation is them sitting to close to the tv, when it was probably genetics or other factors. Thus causing people to think that the cause was them sitting too close to tv.

You can catch colds from being outside without a hat. Colds are caused by viruses, not cold temperatures
Aroace tiger (she/they/he) 2 years ago
But colder temperatures make ur immune system weaker and therefore it's easier to catch a cold
Kira Okah 2 years ago
When it is cold, people tend to congregate in warm areas in large groups, allowing the easier spread of illnesses. People who permanently live in colder areas don't get sick more frequently than those in temperate or hot areas.

Being cold for a long period of time reduces your body's ability to fight off infection. Being cold doesn't give you a cold, but you are more likely to catch one.

And that they are only spread by sneezing, coughing and touching your face and then other things. The virus lives and breed on the walls of the throat and lungs. Viruses are so small (0.4 to 0.2 microns) they can attach to the moisture in your breath and can be spread just by breathing up to 8 metres. This is why you appear to catch colds in an office even when not being near a person or touching the same things they have. It's also the reason most masks wont protect against a virus. Most masks only filter particles larger than 3 microns. A virus is 100 times smaller. And that is not allowing for the bad fitting allowing larger particles to be sucked in from the sides. It is like trying to catch rain with a tennis racket.
Solidhog 2 years ago
Interesting side note. There has been an argument for a long time about if viruses are actually living things. Some say they are as they feed on organic matter and then reproduce. Just like many living organisms.

Also, viruses outside the body die/breakdown faster in a hot environment, but can stay viable for longer in cold weather, so in winter, they linger on surfaces for longer and get picked up by more people. In one study, Covid would last around 2 days at 20°C, but only a few hours at 40°C (https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12985-020-01418-7)

Or that you lose more heat from your head than anywhere else. You lose heat from any uncovered part of your body, it's just more people cover everything but their heads especially if they have thick hair so naturally heat is lost from your head in that case. If you don't wear gloves, or socks and shoes, or whatever, that's where you'll lose heat.

True. I wonder if this idea came about because people with chronic bronchitis will cough & get congested when it's cold, even thought they aren't "sick." My daughter was like this. As a toddler, when we had no AC, my daughter liked to sleep with no top. If it got cool, however, she would start coughing in the night & the next day be a bit croupy. If I made her wear a shirt, she would be fine.

A recent study has shown that it's the temperature in your nose that can cause you to be more susceptible to catching a cold. Basically, keep your nasal passages warmer, and you increase your immunity. Another good reason for wearing a mask during cold/flu season.

I read that, at colder temperatures the bacteria, that can fight off cold (that live in the nose) die at an alarming rate. So when it is cold and your nose bacteria die, you are more likely to get a cold because the bacteria can't fight it off. This was based a new study that came out 2023

During cold temperatures, you're more likely to pick something up because you're in a closed environment with people.
martymcmatrix 2 years ago
This comes from the "Dangerous Half Truths" Department. It is true, that a cold is caused by viruses. It is not true, that cold temperatures doesn't play a significant role! Our body fights against tons of potential pathogens all day long. Our immune system can keep flu viruses in check to such an extent that the so-called germ load or germ threshold tends in our favor. But you're likely to catch a cold if you stay in a wet-cold-windy weather situation longer than your clothes can maintain a cozy 36.5 to 37.0 degrees body temperature. If not, you'll reveal a small leak in the protective shield and you'll start to party for about 9 days. That's why a cold is called a "cold". Alternatively, I suggest calling it a "trudi" (trunk disease). Who joins in?

One reason you're more likely to get a cold in the winter is that the "protective layer" that encases a virus in more easily destroyed in high temperatures. As a result, virus don't live outside the body as long in summer.

The cold can influence behaviors that make it easier to catch colds but no, it isnt the direct cause. You should still bundle up if it's cold. This fact is one of those that is true but misses the point all at the same time.

Temperature is key. In cold weather, if your nose is uncovered and you are breathing through it, the temp inside the nose drops. This makes it easier for virus/bacterium to gain a foot hold. Human body temperature rises when fighting an infection to help kill the virus/bacterium. Higher temp = dead virus/bacteria. I

Being out in the cold and not wearing a coat etc can mess with your core temperature and bring on a fever as your body tries to regulate its temperature again. It weakens your immune system and because cold viruses are present in colder weather, they love your nice, newly cold body more than a warm one. On top of that, you can get hypothermia if out in the cold for too long. So wrap up warm!

There’s also an explanation for why particular common beliefs disappear while others remain something people believe throughout generations. “Many beliefs that are passed through generations have a strong link with culture and tradition, and even though there may be no reason for engaging with them because they are part of your personal story, you feel connected with it,” Audrey explained.
According to her, Christmas traditions are a lovely example of this: “my own mother-in-law always makes a Christmas Gift Cracker as this was something that she had enjoyed when she was young. Not having children personally, it is not something I will be passing down, but my husband’s cousins might, and thus whenever this tradition plays out, we are reminded of the happy times at Christmas.”

The belief that sugar causes hyperactivity in children. This belief has been around for decades, but numerous scientific studies have shown that there is no evidence to support it.
On the other hand, sometimes certain beliefs are extremely questionable as society changes, Audrey added. “It is hoped that many rules also change accordingly, or, where that is not possible, that enough people become aware of the original rule, find no basis for it to be true, and create their own, which then grow because of their acceptability in the modern world.”
“A less contentious example, but still a problematic one that is changing, is the view that in some cultures, mental ill health is simply not discussed. As we learn more about mental health diagnoses, cultures become more accepting as to why certain behaviors may be happening and what can be done about it, they blame less and grow more,” Audrey explained.

“Fish don’t feel pain” , and simultaneously “Fish do feel pain” are both arguments which ignore centuries of research.
They lack a Neocortex which deems them unable to “process” pain, however they have several nociceptors located around the mouth which allows them to “feel it”. What does this mean? Well nobody actually knows yet, and it is largely open to interpretation. It’s unfathomably hard for us to understand, as we can both feel and process pain. Some scientists describe “acting on instinct” as symptoms of pain when these nociceptors become compromised. Some scientists describe it as just that though, acting on instinct based on what parts of their body are compromised and hence weaker or vulnerable.
For example : You hook and release a bass. That Bass now moves slower, eats a little less, and socializes less. Are these actions the result of the fish acknowledging the compromised nociceptors and acting accordingly while giving itself a chance to heal? Or is the fish genuinely hurting and sad? Research points to both being correct, but neither have enough evidence to prove anything yet.
All we know with certainty is that we don’t have a definite answer supporting either argument, so anyone that leans hard one way or another doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Kea_Tortilla 2 years ago
Thank you for acknowledging that we still have so much to learn about our fellow creatures! Pain or not, fish are still animals and deserve respect.
The Minister of Digital Affairs of Taiwan also argues that often, “a little bit like social media hashtags, the enduring narratives are those which resonate closely with the zeitgeist at the time, such as #metoo.”
Moreover, endorsements from celebrities can make a difference as well. “Not only does research show that celebrity endorsements are more likely to make you believe a certain thing, but to also not check it for credibility.”
Audrey explained that inviting a psychologist to comment on an article and adding the phrase “backed by science” can do the same thing. “As I always say – 'backed by science,' says NOTHING about the reliability, validity or even relevance of the research as a whole, nor the population it was based on.”

Hiding under a highway overpass is actually not a good way to survive a tornado.
It has been scientifically proven that the wind gets concentrated and the speeds increase underneath the overpass.
If you aren’t shielded by a bridge girder or something similar you’ll just get swept away and mulched.
Your best bet for survival if you cannot escape the tornado is to find the nearest deep ditch or hole.

Don't know if it's been said yet still scrolling, but that male lions don't hunt or do anything. Yes, lionesses do most of the hunting but males do help if the prey is too big and strong, such as with cape buffalo or giraffe. Males do a lot, staying back and protecting the territory which is very important if there are cubs, not to mention that the mane not only blows their cover more when hunting, but it tires them out quickly as it's a bunch of hair weighing on their head. Males also have to leave their birth pride at a certain age which of course until they can find a pride, they at that point have to hunt.
Also on the topic of African animals (wildlife nerd) hyenas hunt more than lions and are more successful predators, and hyenas aren't dogs. Elephants don't think you or any human is cute.
Edit: I was told wrong a lion's mane doesn't weigh as much as I thought, but it does have more of a negative effect on their hunting compared to a lioness.

That's also not true. Different drinks have different effects. "A recent study..." will be contradicted by tomorrows recent study. The reality is that there are positive and negative effects at the same time. So a study that tries to find one thing will find it, but it will exclude the other things, because that wasn't part of the research.

I STILL don't know if high fructose corn syrup carries an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. Literally half the scientific literature says "yes" and the other half says "no". One says that the body has a more difficult time metabolizing fructose compared with glucose, and so tends to store it as fat, and the fructose can affect insulin levels in the liver. Then other scientific articles say that there's absolutely no proof of that. Which do I believe? I know this: Prior to 1980, lots of people ate lots of snacks. Plenty of plenty of people sat inside all day watching tv. Lots of people ate too much. But during the 1980s, first soft drinks and then a LOT of foods switched to HFCS and suddenly obesity and diabetes rates soared. Certainly I'm aware of Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc (and similar) fallacies, but it still seems suspicious to me.
