Do you still believe "mom warnings" even when you know they aren't true?

Don’t swim right after eating. You’ll get a cramp and DIE!

Has any child ever perished in this way? And how could a cramp be determined to be the cause of death?
I imagine the examining Dr. sadly shaking his head: “Stomach cramp, clearly. She should have waited an hour after that PB&J.”

Are there other mom-isms that stick in your mind as indisputable facts even when you know they can’t be true?
