Just Because The Internet Said It, Doesn't Make It True!
Today is the official day that Larry Page and Sergey Brin launched Google in 1998. Google is the most used web-based search engine in the world. The site processes over two trillion searches a year with the average person using it 3-4 times a day. Even though it was intended for good, it can turn evil quickly. Many people used the web for a sinister purpose. Using the platform to pass deadly lies and false information. Here are some terrible and lethal myths we all believe to be true.

Seed Oils 101
If there is one piece of nutrition misinformation I would love to never hear again, it would be about seed oils. Seed oils (especially canola oil) are given an awful reputation, often touted as “toxic”, “inflammatory” and “hormone imbalancing” by those in the holistic and naturopathic fields. And nine times out of ten, there isn’t any sort of reference given to back it up – just a simple, “Google it, you’ll see!”.

The Law of Attraction – What It Really Is and What It Is Not
Since many years ago, there have been laws of attraction that help us achieve our intents, ambitions, and objectives. By reading the books, focusing their thoughts, and writing them down, many people I know are implementing the law of attraction into their life. How many people have experienced disappointment when their expectations weren't met?

Fashion is a sales aid and nothing more
Fashion is a sales aid and nothing more. Fashion exists to make us part with our money Fashion is not as important as many will claim it is. Many things have a great deal more importance to the well-being of people than any artificial concept of being fashionable. The late Princess Diana was an example, in logically applied plain truth and viewed within the political reality of the governance of Britain, she was an ornament, a distraction from harsh reality, but those around her, who all had agendas of their own, persuaded her that she had real importance. That her fashionable image, was vital to life. That her every word, gesture and application of cosmetics were vital to worldwide happiness.

The Porcello Effect
From the dawn of time, natural events have been dumbfounding the human race. Scientists are still kicking themselves trying to understand everything about gravity. It’s hard to understand how such a weak force has such a strong power over us, allowing the sun to wrap us around it like a ball on a string. Nicholas Cage won an oscar but is also the worst actor of all time. Dark energy makes up 70% of the universe but we still have absolutely no idea what it is. But, nothing is more misunderstood than the career of former New York Mets starting pitcher; Rick Porcello.

Choosing a Birth Control Method
Reproductive rights are the free and unbarred access to choose if, when and how to start and build a family, and having inclusive tools and resources needed to do so. This includes choosing and starting a birth control method!

Jesus Healed the Lepers without a Biohazard Suit On
The Historical Jesus First-century Hebrews didn't have personal protective equipment, only a set of health codes, one of which included avoiding lepers. The New Testament tells of Jesus entering leper colonies and healing them despite society believing lepers were unclean. Whether he had the power to heal or not, Jesus risked illness and death entering the leper colonies. He also risked infecting others with leprosy and other illnesses. As a divine figure in Christianity, a rabbi in Judaism, and a prophet in Islam, many believers emulate his example in many areas of life. I wonder how some might view his risks of contracting and spreading disease. What precautions he did take?
