Answer 1

It is unfortunate, but the first person who answered this question was indeed incorrect. The answer was all are true. However all but one of these is true.

Question 5, "when you sneeze, all bodily functions stop, even your heart," is false. I have, in fact, personally witnessed a person sneeze while on an EKG, and the heart did not stop. There was a beat where it should have been. I had heard of this myth before this happened, and when the patient asked for a tissue because he was going to sneeze, I remembered, and looked at the EKG.

I would also like to add I have serious doubts about the legitimacy of the website from which you got your information. The website offers not explanation of who, or how these "facts" were validated.

Answer 2

Wouldn't the EKG capture the excursion or movement of a sneeze on it? The one I have a problem with is the milk advertising. My understanding is that advertisers can only use the product they are selling in their pictures. Therefore in a cereal advertisement, the milk is likely this mixture. It would be false advertising if it was the mixture for a milk advertisement.
