You won't believe that these facts are actually false!
Let's see what common false beliefs scientists have already refuted.
#1
In fact, the rainiest city on earth is Lloro in Colombia. Even its name in Spanish means "crying" or "bursting with tears". There are more than 13 000 mm of rainfall annually (for comparison: in London - 600 mm).
#2
The saltiest pond is the lake Don Juan on Victoria Land, Antarctica. The reservoir does not freeze at -22 °F (-30 °C)!
#3
Falling, a cat tends to turn the belly down. Light weight and long fur of this animal help to slow the fall slightly and gain time to maneuver to land on paws. However, if a cat falls from a short height there is not enough time to do that.
#4
In the distant past, this product was one of the few stored on the shelves without packaging. That's why cheese suffered from rodents more than other products.
In fact, mice like sweet food and surely would prefer chocolate over cheese.

It's believed that a wandering eye is one of the signs of a liar. However, scientists found out this is not true. It's about the peculiarity of a human eye - when a person is participating in an important emotional conversation for a long time it's really hard to focus on one point.
#6
In fact, children's inability to behave is a psychological problem. Still, the myth is extremely popular and makes parents limit the amount of sweets for children. Few know that a kid needs more sugar for their body than an adult.

Of course, the statement is quite true. Carbohydrates, the main sources of energy, can turn into fat in the body.
However, Sharon Natoli from Food and Nutrition Australia, has been investigating the issue since the 1990s and proved: diets with a restriction of bread or gluten can harm health. Bread itself can hardly influence one's weight.

Besides the typo, the statement is comparing apples to oranges ... UK is a country. Lloro, Colombia is a city. Does that translate into the rainiest country? Not enough information provided to answer.

#1 has a typo. Country is correct.

I use peanut butter in my traps works way faster than anything else. ( live traps, don't mind them OUTSIDE not in m house.).

Whether sugar makes kids hyperactive or not, they eat way too much of it in the U.S. anyway. Sounds ridiculous to think they need more sugar than adults.

Ernie Romano, some of the best (most convincing) liars can look you steadfastly in the eye.

Michele Dix, of course! They are seed eaters (among other things). They reach plague proportions at and after harvest time in grain growing areas of the world. Such as Australia.

The U.K. is s country. Lloro is a city.
Marguerite LaHaye
The part about children needing more sugar than adults is incorrect, especially when accompanied by a photo of a child eyeing gummy candy. (I can see my dentist cringing here.). The only sugars required as nutrients are those that occur naturally in wholesome foods like fruit and milk.

We have found that mice actually love pumpkin seeds, fresh or drier doesn't seem to matter

Interesting debunking especially about the mice and cheese. We both prefer chocolate. Thank you for educating us.
