There are some myths out there that we all learned through a point, and if you hear something enough, it is natural to believe that's true. But what these "facts" commonly known have in common is that they are not true. Most of them were made on the basis of misconceptions, misunderstandings and outright intentional hoaxes.
See the 23 "facts" below to see what is really happening here.
1. You lose most of your body heat in your head
