Someone told me that Guinness intentionally added sour Guinness to their beers. Is that true?

Guinness Stout Frequently Asked Questions FAQs - Gigfy.com
Yes, part of the process is to blend in some specially soured Guinness. The following was extracted from the Homebrew Digest. I believe the original author was Martin Lodahl, but I may be mistaken: "...they have a series of huge oaken tuns dating back to the days before Arthur Guinness bought the brewery, which they still use as fermentors for a fraction of the beer.

I've heard that Guinness contains oysters. Is that true?

Guinness Stout Frequently Asked Questions FAQs - Gigfy.com
No. At one time, oyster shell may have been used as finings to rid the beer of unwanted solids, but this was not in this century, and may not have ever been done by Guinness. There are oyster stouts that contain oyster, oyster extracts, etc. No. It is a rather common misconception that Guinness (and all other stouts) contain oatmeal. Oatmeal Stout is a distinctive style stout.

In the UK Tate and Lyle and Billingtons sugars are free of animal substances.

I've been told that I'm less likely to miscarry because I'm so sick. Is this true?

Blooming Awful - FAQ: General concerns - especially first ti...
Research does support this theory, yes. Miscarriage is very unusual in women with HG - seemingly a lot less common than with morning sickness in general - but it's important that the HG doesn't run out of control. The few cases of miscarriage we hear about are usually in women who had very severe HG that was allowed to escalate - they were often tube fed eventually but weren't offered either this or drugs earlier in the pregnancy. But these cases are extremely rare.

I was told to use an herbal 5-alpha reductase inhibitor since it is safer. Is that true?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - NHI
Unlike food that is best taken as a "natural" substance, medications are taken for a specific problem. Therefore, one should take a form that is pure, where the exact dose is known, where controlled scientific studies have been performed and published in reputable medical journals to show its efficacy and safety, and where other ingredients of unknown safety are not included.

I was told that getting a Rescue avoided all the costs and problems of a puppy. Is that true?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
The answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. Lets look at some of the reasoning you might have seen on the Internet or in books. Rescues are housebroken - They can be or maybe not. Sometimes rescues have lived their entire life outside in someone's yard chained to a fence. Rescue will sometimes foster these dogs, or sometimes kennel them. Even if they learn potty training in that situation, there is no guaranteed they will respect you home the same way.

Why would anybody intentionally hurt themselves?

Self-Injury: A Struggle - FAQ
Relief from feelings - Often people hurt themselves to try to relieve intense emotions and feel better. These intense feelings can seem uncontrollable, frightening, and dangerous.

They cannot experience and express them the way most people do: by crying, screaming, yelling, etc. This can be due to a number of reasons.

Someone told me I should not feed my rats corn or chocolate. Is this true?

RMCA: Rat FAQ
The Rat Health Care booklet by Debbie Ducommun reports that corn should be fed with caution due to high levels if nitrates and amines which can combine in the stomach to form nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. In theory, this is true, but you would have to feed your rat a diet almost entirely of corn for this to be a problem. You don't want your rat to exist soley on any one type of food, but there really isn't a problem with corn, other than too much in the diet will make your rat fat.

My friend was told she can't get pregnant because she has PID. Is this true?

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
The more times you have PID, the more likely it is that you won't be able to have children. When you have PID, bacteria infect the tubes or cause inflammation of the tubes. This turns normal tissue into scar tissue, which can block your tubes and make it harder to get pregnant. Even having just a little scar tissue can keep you from getting pregnant.

I was told that you cannot feed waterfowl medicated feed, is that true?

Q
Answer: No, waterfowl are no different from any other bird in that regard. Medicated feed can be fed, but is generally not recommended unless your flock has a chronic (repeated) problem that you need to combat. The danger in feeding medicated feed when no specific medical problem exists is that you may be not only wasting money, but you may be encouraging the development of strains of bacteria resistant to that particular medication. When you really need it, it may no longer be effective.

I've heard that seedling oranges are sour, and need to be grafted to make them sweet. Is that true?

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The "sour orange" is Citrus aurantium. It is also known as the 'Seville' orange, famed for its use in English marmalade. Sweet orange is Citrus sinensis, an entirely different species. Sour oranges will always be sour, and sweet oranges will always be sweet. In areas of the world where tristeza virus is not present, sweet orange grafted to sour orange rootstock gives sweet oranges of exceptionally good quality.

What if someone intentionally injures me?

Texas Injury Lawyers - Noteboom - The Law Firm
Many lawyers will say "you don't have a case" when someone intentionally injures you. This mistaken belief comes from the fact that insurance polices generally provide coverage for only negligent acts, not intentional acts, and from the fact that an employer is generally not liable for the conduct of their employee when that employee intentionally injures you. That said, the personal injury lawyers at Noteboom-The Law Firm have made significant recoveries for persons injured by intentional acts.

Someone told me that running bamboo will take over, is that true?

Frequently asked questions about bamboo.
If running bamboo were going to take over the world, it would have done so thousands of years ago. There are running species (temperate cold hardy, Leptomorph) of bamboo which we love and there are clumping (Pachymorph) species. We dislike the clumping species and specialize in cold hardy runners. I grow around twenty species of clumping bamboo and have never been impressed with their looks or growth rate.

Someone once told me prohormones are steroids. Is this true?

Bodybuilding.com - Big Cat - An In-Depth Prohormone Guide!
I think I touched on this in the beginning of the article. Prohormones are in effect steroid hormones in physiological terms. In this case steroid meaning "made of cholesterol". This also includes, for example, Vitamin D. Calciferol is a steroid hormone made from cholesterol in the skin under the influence of sunlight. Is Vitamin D a steroid? Well from the physiological view I suppose so.

I have been told not to buy a spa with a lounger. Is it true that a lounger is not good in a spa?

The Spa Specialist- Frequently Asked Questions::.
In the old days, and today in some rather peculiar spas, the loungers do not work. The reason is simple. In water, the best way to float is to lay back. For most people with normal fat content in their body a lay-back lounger is a bad idea. I have seen some spa brochures with these lay back loungers. The picture depicts a really skinny woman in the lounger.

I live in an endemic zone and was told Valley Fever was a benign disease. Is that true?

www.valleyfeversurvivor.com - Frequently Asked Questions
It can make you sick, cause fungal abscesses or lesions, debilitate you, cripple you for life, or kill you. It can be unbearably painful and is definitely not a benign disease. Since Valley Fever is initially asymptomatic in under 50% of the people it infects, since the disease causes such a wide variety of symptoms, and since it is misdiagnosed so frequently and can activate or reactivate decades after the initial infection, the actual toll of Valley Fever is difficult to measure.

My neighbors have told me that installing mulch rings around trees is good. Is that true?

TCIA | Tree Care Industry Association Staff
Homeowners and professional arborists depend on mulch in landscapes for several reasons. Functionally, mulches discourage weeds from growing, conserve moisture during drought periods, and allow better use of water by controlling runoff and increasing water-holding capacity of light, sandy soils. Mulches help maintain a uniform soil temperature.
