When I was young my mother told me not to eat fish and drink milk at the same meal. If I did I would die. When I was about 13 I got brave enough to try it and found, of course, that it was not true. I must have, deep down, not really believed it or I wouldn't have tried it. Nobody would deliberately eat something that was going to kill them.
