Debunking Food Myths!

We have heard and read a lot of information on foods lately and some of it can be quite confusing. Here's a great article on 15 food myths to help us decipher all that information!

The first myth this article talks about are the frozen vegetables myth. I still prefer fresh vegetables to frozen when I can get it and its from a local source. I'm all for buying local produce because it supports our communities and is healthier since vegetables nutrients do decrease from the time their picked.

Here are the other food myths this article tackles:

2. Giving up favorite foods to lose weight
3. Packaged & processed foods
4. Taking supplements makes up for lack of healthy diet
5. Packaged foods are high in sodium
6. Good and bad foods
7. White potatoes
8. 8 cups of water a day
9. Fat free/lower calorie foods
10. We can eat anything as long as we don't eat too many calories
11. Bananas cause weight gain
12. Fast or slow eating doesn't matter as long as we're not overeating
13. Best food choice at restaurants for losing weight is a salad
14. Negative calorie foods
15. More time spent in the kitchen leads to healthier eating
