kingcountyjournal.com: “Few areas of human behavior are quite as prone to myth and nonsense as nutrition.
“People tend to believe what they want to believe. Nutrition is no different than any other area when it comes to that,” said Erin Wicklund, registered dietitian for the Nutrition Department at Overlake Hospital Medical Center. Regrettably, as with other fields, what we want to believe is often at odds with reality.
The webpage covers a few nutritional myths, followed by the realities. The topics include:
Good foods and bad foods
Certain foods will help you lose weight
`Fat calories’
Vitamin pills and diet supplements are a necessary part of a healthy diet
`All-natural ingredients’
`Energy boosters’
Eating red meat is bad for your health and will make it harder to lose weight
Fast foods are unhealthy and will make you fat
Starches are fattening
Dairy products are fattening and unhealthy.
You might be very surprised at what you read. But will you believe it or go back to your own baseless opinion?
