Common Filipino myths DEBUNKED:

1. Softdrinks will improve diarrhea

This is a popular one ive heard. When with LBM or diarrhea, give them coke to settle their stomach. This is a no-no. The sugar will cause the diarrhea to become worse since, since sugar will draw your body's water into the stomach, causing dehydration.

Do take loperamide tablets instead.

2. Stepping over the legs of a human will cause them to have stunted growth.

This one is a classic. I have no idea where this comes from. and you have to cross over again to remove the curse you have caused.
