The 5-Second Rule Will Make You Sick 3 Health Myths You Probably Believe TAYLOR SWIFT’S JET-TRACKING TROUBLES FLIGHT PATH FALLOUT
BOTTLED WATER IS SAFER THAN TAP WATER emissions produced by private jets, which he shares online. Though Sweeny said he never intended to cause harm to Taylor Swift or any of the other celebrities he tracks, he is using public data available to anyone; he’s just repurposing the information. His legal team said he was “engaged in protected speech Seeking out safer water alternatives increases the sales of bottled “spring water” each year. However, bottled water is more expensive, bad for the environment, and, as Dr. Morton Tavel of the Indiana University School of Medicine pointed out, over 50 percent of bottled water is just filtered tap water. The same effect can be achieved with a home filtration system. Of course, if the tap water in your area has been contaminated, bottled water is a safer alternative. However, in most circumstances, bottled water is no healthier than tap water. Swift hasn’t been able to shake it off yet. Sweeny continues to post flight CRACKING YOUR KNUCKLES CAUSES ARTHRITIS information for the singer, though he has switched to posting it on a 24-hour delay rather than in real time. The student has said he believes in transparency and has an environmental angle for what he is doing — he wants to expose the carbon emissions produced by Swift’s flights and those of other wealthy celebrities. The connection between knuckle-cracking and arthritis came from studies where participants self-reported their habits. Modern medical research has shown these results to be false. that does not violate any of Ms. Swift’s legal rights.” Further, his lawyer claims Swift’s team has failed to prove the posts have led to stalking or harm of the singer.
We live in the golden age of information. The answers to many of life’s questions are just an internet search away. Despite this readily available wisdom, we still have a bad habit of believing health-related myths. Here are three popular health “facts” that are total works of fiction. Swift’s lawyers sent the Florida student a cease-and-desist letter in December 2023, THE 5-SECOND RULE KEEPS FOOD SAFE Obviously germs and bacteria don’t really wait five seconds to pounce, but snatching your chip off the floor fast keeps most of the germs away, right? Not according to a 2006 study published by Dr. Paul Dawson. He found conclusive evidence that when food comes into contact with a contaminated surface, bacteria are transferred immediately. Even one second spent Sweeny’s site, GRNDCTRL, and social media accounts source public data from the Federal Aviation Administration on the flight details of billionaires, celebrities, and other public figures like Elon Musk, on tile, wood, or carpet is enough to infest your food with salmonella or another serious contaminant. When pop megastar Taylor Swift travels anywhere, the whole world seems to hang onto every detail. It’s all made possible by information technology student Jack Sweeny, who has been tracking her private jet and posting all the details online. claiming he was providing “individuals intent on harming her, or with nefarious or violent intentions, a road map to carry out their plans.” The star’s team also stated that the timing of stalkers seems to correlate with Sweeny’s posts about her flights.
The official stance from the John Hopkins Arthritis Center states, “There is no evidence that cracking knuckles causes any damage such as arthritis in the joints.” Still, chronic knuckle- cracking can lead to reduced grip strength, so you might want to break the habit anyway. You’ve probably heard these myths for years, but just because something is common knowledge doesn’t mean it is true. With information so easily available, always take the time to research the facts, especially when it comes to your health. Swift’s team has taken no further action, and Sweeny’s lawyer said he doubted any more legal action would be taken. As for Sweeny, he suggested that if Swift really wanted her privacy, she could register her private jet with an anonymous corporate entity and choose an ID code that is not her birthday and initials.
