There are so many reasons why certain fallacies are perceived as hard and fast facts. Information on health is particularly riddled with fallacies masquerading as facts, some are deliberate while most are simply received (sometimes, just overheard) passed on and then embraced ‘hook line and sinker’ without much thought or the rigors of proper validation. The challenge is to distinguish which is fact and which is fiction based on sound knowledge. Test the anatomic and physiologic acumen with the phrases below and explain below each why it is fact or why it is fiction.  1. The stomach is the main site of food digestion. 2. The stomach produces a new layer of mucus every 2 weeks to protect itself, while it produces half a gallon of HCl each day. 3. Doing vigorous exercise just after a full meal causes acute appendicitis 4. Eating spicy food can cause hemorrhoids. 5. Drinking coffee or tea or smoking after a heavy meal causes digestion to work more effectively.             Health Science Science Nursing Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
