Drinking warm milk makes you sleepy. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Chicken soup fights a cold. Old wives' tales? No, they are actually thrue. Old wives' tales exist in every culture and are often so pervasive that we take them as the truth.
Lately, science has shown that most are no more than legends, while surprisingly, others have turned out to be true. From tales to do with fertility to teeth to cranberries, learn some of the old wives' tales your mother taught you that you should be listening to.

OK, so science is wrong? Good to know.
