My mon and grandmother use to tell me things like "An Apple a Day will keep the Doctor away" and "If you drink coffee it will stunt your growth." Did your mother or grandmother tell you stuff like this. I still eat an apple every day.

I've heard many, including eating burned toast will put hair on your chest. My dad gave himself as an example of that. He was very hairy. I didn't put any stock in any of those tales though.
