32 Food Myths That You Need to Stop Believing Today
Every day, it seems that there's a new "superfood" on the block promoting unique weight loss and health benefits.
And many times every day, a new nutrition article is published regurgitating food myths that have long since been proven false by science.
It's a sad truth that nutrition news is filled with blatantly false information despite scientific consensus. So we went in search of the most repeated food myths that still persist today in spite of evidence proving the opposite.
Our research uncovered 32 food myths that appear time and time again.
We still believed many of these myths until we learned the data-supported positions of scientists around the world.
We learned that it's incredibly important to approach nutrition news with an attitude of suspending beliefs until data can back them up (or refute them).
So look for the data we did...
This list of food and nutrition myths is far from comprehensive, but I'm sure many of them will surprise you. We're hoping that you'll consider the myths here, do your own research, and come to your own, data-driven conclusions.
After all, that's what knowledge is all about.
Let's get to the food myths.
Fast food is it really bad for us
Fast food is popular due to its convenience and taste but is generally unhealthy. While it provides calories, it often lacks nutrients. Fast food tends to be high in fat, salt, and sugar. Eating fast food frequently can lead to numerous health issues like obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. While occasional fast food is okay, making it a regular habit is not recommended for long term health. Some minor adjustments like choosing grilled options over fried or removing condiments can make fast food a little healthier but it is best consumed only occasionally.
Good fat vs. bad fat
There are good fats and bad fats. Bad fats like saturated and trans fats are solid at room temperature and found in foods like red meat, butter, and fried foods. They can raise blood cholesterol levels and increase heart disease risk. Good fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature and found in foods like nuts, olive oil, salmon, and avocados. They can help lower cholesterol and reduce heart disease risk. Omega-3 fatty acids in particular are beneficial for heart health by decreasing blood pressure and irregular heartbeats.

Cholesterol is also needed for survival but intake should be moderated through diet.
