James Oliver Kury lists his:

1) Searing meats seals in the juices
2) You have to refrigerate butter or it will spoil
3) Oysters must be consumed during "r" months only
4) Boiling veggies eliminates all vitamins and minerals
5) Cold water boils faster than warm water
6) A potato will absorb excess salt in any soup or stew
7) Adding olive oil to boiling water keep spaghetti from sticking
8) Alcohol burns off entirely when cooked
9) Lobsters scream when dunked in boiling water
10) Never eat fish in a restaurant on a Monday

I'll add another: Kids get hyperactive from eating too much sugar.
