From Nature.Com An excellent read.

The science myths that will not die
False beliefs and wishful thinking about the human experience are common. They are hurting people — and holding back science.

Myth 1: Screening saves lives for all types of cancer
Myth 2: Antioxidants are good and free radicals are bad
Myth 3: Humans have exceptionally large brains
Myth 4: Individuals learn best when taught in their preferred learning style
Myth 5: The human population is growing exponentially (and we're doomed)
