THE SHORT ANSWER

Line 1 is the myth, written the way people actually say it. Line 2 is the fact, one sentence. Then two lines on why the myth survives, and how the reader can check the truth themselves. It works because it gives people something to tell others.

When it works.

  • Customers arrive with the same wrong idea.
  • Your industry has a popular half-truth.
  • You want a post people forward to a colleague.

The structure.

  1. 1

    Myth

    The belief as people actually say it — not a straw man.

  2. 2

    Fact

    What is true, in one sentence.

  3. 3

    Why the myth survives

    Two lines: where it came from, why it sounds right.

  4. 4

    How to check

    Something the reader can do to see it for themselves.

The template.

Copy it and fill in the brackets.

Myth: [the belief, in people's words].
Fact: [what is true, one sentence].

Why the myth sticks around: [two lines].

Check it yourself: [how].

An example.

EXAMPLE — written for a made-up dental practice.

Ddental practiceExample · Myth vs fact

Myth: if your gums bleed, brush more gently or stop flossing. Fact: bleeding gums usually mean they need more cleaning, not less. Why the myth sticks around: it feels like you are hurting them. Usually it is the plaque left behind that is. Check it yourself: floss gently every day for two weeks. If the bleeding has not eased, book a check-up.

The mistakes to avoid.

  • A myth nobody actually believes.
  • Mocking the people who believe it.
  • A fact you cannot back up — if it needs a source, give one.

Questions people ask.

Do myth vs fact posts need a source?
When the fact is a claim about a law, a study or a number, yes. When it is your own professional knowledge, say how the reader can check it.
What graphic suits a myth vs fact post?
A two-part card: the myth struck through, the fact beside it.
