\\u201cOh, that\\u2019s just an old wives\\u2019 tale\\u201d is an easy way to disarm and disregard someone else\\u2019s claims about health. But it\\u2019s also lazy and, sometimes, just plain misleading. So what if a particular claim comes from folk wisdom? Is it all nonsense? Are all old wives\\u2019 tales necessarily incorrect? As you\\u2019ll hear in this podcast, folk wisdom is sometimes just plain old wisdom. Many of these \\u201cstories\\u201d have a basis in fact. And many of us would be better off heeding some of these old wives\\u2019 tales.
