Say what? It's a myth that carrots improve your eyesight? And what's that about tastebuds?

They just keep coming - scholarly articles that just happily go and overturn a lifetime of belief systems.

Next thing they'll be telling us is that there aren't different types of tastebuds on different parts of your tongue...

What? They're all the same? Says who? Says these guys. And Dr Karl.

Is nothing sacred?? I presume it was indeed all the vegetables my parents made me eat that did indeed make my bloody hair all curly?
