these are the possibly false truths we
convinced ourselves to believe in
regards to our food an apple a day keeps
the doctor away and you’re wondering is
that really true welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten food
myths at the end of the day if we
compare them side-by-side there are pros
and cons for each for this list we’re
focusing on popular adages about food or
common diet tips some of which have
merit some of which don’t and some of
which do but not for the reasons you’d
think then I would probably consider
limiting or avoiding gum until the child
gets a little bit older but as always be
sure to consult a medical professional
when it comes to your health stay lean
and stay strong
number 10 microwaving food destroys
nutrients myth we’re talking really bad
we begin our list with the big bad
microwave any new technology attracts
its share of critics and the microwave
was no different why don’t you build
something like he does stead of all your
empty deals it’s just like your science
oven you know I read that it takes all
of the nutrition out of our food empty
just like your deal it’s long been
suggested that cooking food this way can
rob it of its healthy properties but for
the most part that’s just not true it’s
actually the cook time and heat level
that is most likely to destroy nutrients
and since a microwave takes less time
than most conventional cooking methods
in many cases it might actually help
retain more of the healthiness and cook
for three to four minutes until the
salmon is flaky pro tip try steaming
vegetables in a sealed microwave safe
ditch with a small amount of water for
delicious and nutritious veggies it’s
also very important to choose glass
cookware or microwave safe cookware that
doesn’t emit or leach different plastic
compounds which can be toxic number 9
pop rocks plus soda equals kaboom miss
thirsty what’s wrong something you might
have heard about mixing pop rocks some
soda well
you there stomach and your intestines
everything first coca-cola hit the
market in 1886 pop rocks hit the market
in 1975 rumours claiming that ingesting
these junky products at the same time
would cause your stomach to explode due
to excessive carbon dioxide from the
combo of the fizzy candy and the
carbonated drink weren’t far behind I’m
a little afraid I can’t say oh let me
see let’s all see okay oh crap everyone
heard this urban legend when they were
growing up
and many of us may have actually
believed it the people of Seattle
believed it so much the US Food and Drug
Administration had to set up a hotline
to calm them down oh but the truth is
the worst thing you could likely do to
you is cause a nice satisfying belch ah
odd then number eight eggs are bad for
your heart if this food factoid has been
debated for years but here’s what we
know
eggs contain cholesterol and too much
cholesterol can lead to health problems
like heart disease
so how is this amiss
well contrary to what you might have
been told eggs are one of the healthiest
foods you can consume as they’re full of
vitamins minerals and protein if you’re
healthy and don’t have a history of
heart problems you can likely eat an egg
a day without it adversely affecting
your cholesterol levels as your body
will offset it by producing less
cholesterol itself so will that be
scrambled or sunny-side up there was a
widely spread study that eggs were not
good for you this just doesn’t simply
make any sense
number seven red wine is good for your
heart fact yep I don’t care what the
scientists say I’m just gonna keep on
drinking all you wine drinkers out there
prepare to rejoice scientists have been
studying the connection between wine
consumption and heart health for years
after looking at the French diet and
noticing relatively low rates of heart
disease even though their traditional
foods are fatty and if they want to
drink Merlot
we’re drinkin Merlot know if anybody
orders Merlot I’m leaving I am not
drinking any more low but it’s true red
wine features heart-healthy properties
that can possibly protect against heart
attacks or strokes among other things
however like most things when it comes
to your diet moderation is key oh no no
no I’m driving about two glasses a day
for men and one for women is the optimum
amount to drink for your health will
drink to that
number six a gluten-free diet is better
for anyone myth clues a vague term it’s
it’s something that’s used to categorize
things that are bad you know calories
that’s a gluten gluten is a rather new
buzzword in the mainstream but boy has a
gained steam fast gluten intolerance is
described as the fastest growing food
intolerance category selling over ten
and a half billion in the u.s. in 2013
and only growing since then and while
those suffering from celiac disease are
unable to digest gluten only about 1% of
the population suffers from it and
therefore should follow a gluten-free
diet and your body responds in a lot of
ways to it stomach pains swollen lymph
nodes skin rashes a whole host of things
that will progressively get worse as you
keep having to gluten in your diet
doctors recommend that anyone without
this condition can and should include
whole grains in their balanced diet for
help with digestion lower blood pressure
and cholesterol maintaining a healthy
body weight and more so why is it so bad
well it’s not in fact it’s neither
detrimental or essential for your health
and there’s very little evidence to
suggest that cutting it out is the
healthier choice for the average person
that’s the whole wheat toast please is
better than the previous bite you
gluten number 5 it takes seven years to
digest swallowed gum miss name something
you put in your mouth but don’t swallow
Oh Amanda
gum we’ve all been there one minute
you’re chewing some gum
the next something startles you and you
swallow it better hope your mom’s not
around to lecture you about how
swallowed gum will not be digested by
your system for seven years and we’ll
just fester in your gut until it’s
finally excreted okay gross and patently
untrue
while gum has been described as
indigestion that doesn’t mean it stays
in your stomach it just means that when
you do pass the gum through your sister
in the regular amount of time it’ll be
in pretty much the same shape as when
you swallowed it I know what and get go
mamas go but we don’t suggest checking
it out to be sure number four eating
turkey makes you sleepy miss Oh Monica
that was the best Thanksgiving dinner
ever
was so good I think he killed us we were
surprised about this one too considering
how lethargic we are after Thanksgiving
dinner every year so why do you feel
tired after you stuff your face with
turkey a common assertion blames
tryptophan an amino acid found in many
meats that’s connected to the sleepytime
hormone melatonin but the holiday bird
actually contains less tryptophan than a
food like cheddar cheese for example so
experts point to other culprits when it
comes to after meal exhaustion it’s
probably the combo of carbs and booze
that cause you to snooze whatever bring
it on jelly those are my maternity pants
no no these are my Thanksgiving pants
number three boy stirs are an
aphrodisiac
miss have you ever had a wasters did you
know boy stirs are an aphrodisiac
well it’s probably a myth anyway the
oyster has long been considered a vital
food for love partly because of its
vague resemblance to female sex organs
and partly because the legendary lover
Casanova was set to eat 50 of them each
morning
but there have been many studies over
the years none of which has proven the
oysters roll as a definitive aphrodisiac
what they have found however is that
oysters are so rich with zinc and amino
acids that they may increase the sex
drive maybe there’s something to this
one after all but no matter how you eat
them they’re sure to enhance the romance
of your Valentine’s Day evening number 2
acne is caused by chocolate greasy foods
etc miss people think that I told my
name chuckling ba or that I don’t wash
my face call them pimples call them zits
but whatever you call them they’re an
unfortunate part of life and they often
crop up at the worst possible time my
chocolate my beautiful chocolate now the
uninformed might blame things like
chocolate or greasy foods for their
facial blemishes while others might cite
poor hygiene but they’d all be wrong
acne is caused by bacteria excess oil or
clogged pores and there’s not a ton you
can do about it Chocolate Rain a baby
born will die before this in Chocolate
Rain stress and hormones may trigger a
breakout as can some medications and
there are even some studies that suggest
diet can be an aggravating factor but
all in all zits are a rite of passage we
all must deal with amaz it get it before
we unveil our top pick here are some
honorable mentions today there are over
900 published studies revealing the
detrimental effects of aspartame
migraines are the most reported
aspartame reaction
like they’re coming
thank you contact even though artificial
sweeteners don’t raise your blood sugar
they may put you at greater risk for
diabetes calories consumed after say
10:00 p.m. won’t make you gain weight
any faster than calories consumed at
6:00 p.m.
research shows that what matters is how
many calories you eat and not the time
that you eat them the bottom line is to
be aware of what you’re eating
margarine can vary so drastically that
looking at the label to understand what
is or isn’t in it will help you make
informed decisions number one organic
food is always healthier myth organic
food is grown without synthetic
pesticides fertilizers antibiotics or
hormones today it accounts for more than
thirty 1 billion dollars in sales a year
in the United States many people think
the organic label gives food some
supernatural nutritional value but it
actually refers to the way the farmers
grow or raise their products is that
USDA Organic or Oregon Organic of
Portland Organic it’s just all across
the board organic in many cases organic
farming might encourage soil and water
conservation while decreasing pollution
it’s also more likely to be free of
preservatives and synthetic flavors now
I’m on the inside looked in my list
organic chicken kale salad in a lemon
twist however thus far test results have
gone back and forth on whether or not
organic food is healthier if you want to
support small farmers and sustainable
development then by all means look for
an organic certification however an
apple is an apple no matter how it’s
grown so as long as you’re eating a
healthy balanced diet you should be fine
