Go ahead and crack your knuckles all you want!
Eating sugar will make you hyper!
This one shocked me too, but there's no scientific proof that actually ties sugar to hyperactivity. Interestingly enough, sugar releases serotonin, which is a chemical in the brain that has a calming effect. (That might explain the whole sugar crash effect, thing ... )
Feeling a chill? Wear a hat when it's cold, because you lose most of your body heat through your head.
Here's the truth: you lose just as much heat through your head as you do through the rest of your body. It's just that we typically keep other body parts bundled up, so our head often feels cold in comparison.

Cracking your knuckles will give you arthritis.
A 2011 study found that cracking your knuckles — whether it be once a day or every 15 minutes — made no impact on your chances of getting osteoarthritis. (Thank the stars, because I love cracking mine.)

If you have oily skin, you need to dry it out.
When your skin is oily, the assumption is that to stop the oil and breakouts, you need to dry out your skin, and avoid things like moisturizer.
But when you irritate oily skin by drying it out, you're making things worse. When the oil-producing glands get dry, they think they need to help you get back to normal by producing even more oil. (READ: When you dry out your skin, it actually makes it more oily.)
Go with oil-free products, and you'll be able to cleanse without over drying.
