Doctor Fact-Checks Grandma’s Medical Advice (5x65)

:

*7UP has no caffeine, I confused it with Mountain Dew, but my point still holds about it being a bad "cure". Grandma’s are so good at loving us and guiding us through life with their wisdom… but what about all those medical tips they’ve got? Things like “not going outside with wet hair” or “don’t swim 30 minutes after eating”… is there any validity to those claims? These old wives’ tales have been around for generations, and it’s time we put them to the test to see what’s true and what isn’t. I collabed with TikTok’s grandma, GB (Grandma Bobbe) to provide some insight into the medical murkiness of things like swallowing your gum, frowns vs. smiles, chicken noodle soup curing a cold, not exercising when sick, cracking your knuckles, raw meat on bruises, plucking hairs, watermelon seeds, crossing your eyes, sugar making you hyper, sitting close to the tv, snacking and ruining your appetite, carrots being good for your eyes, and sucking your thumb.
