I have been interested in myths in general and medical myths for quite some time. It may surprise many that medical myths are still quite prevalent among the medial profession. I read about them and hear about them from my patients all the time. This book “Don’t Swallow Your Gum! Myths, Half-Truths and Outright Lies About Your Body and Health,” by Dr. Aaron E. Carroll and Dr. Rachel C. Vreeman examines many of these medical myths. One that strikes home for me and one they discuss in this block is the myth that knuckle cracking causes arthritis. The reality is that knuckle-crackers are no more likely to have arthritis than those who don’t make annoying popping sounds with their fingers.
