I love that there's an actual study on this. The link in the article is paywalled but you can download it here.
I feel like that one was worth investigating!
It was! There is actual potential if it turned out to have a basis, and to be fair it's likely worth the time to do a study on any widespread myth/old wives tale like that because you never know if there might be something to it, and if there's not well at least now you have proof.
Exactly! There is truth in some of them, though I can't remember which ones!
