13 Biggest Lies the Media Feeds you about Nutrition

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

The great amount of information that the media is broadcasting on a daily basis is becoming more and more confusing, and it is no longer easy for a person to discover the truth about such an important thing to our health, nutrition.

These organizations can do more efforts to research a little better, but obviously, the public’s general welfare or common sense has no loads of cash.

Here is a lies-revealing list of the top 13 myths that the mainstream media keeps on feeding you:

13. Start your day with a glass of orange juice

It is often recommended to start your day with a glass of orange juice that it became a tradition on the breakfast tables across America. In fact, it is one of the worst and most unhealthy ways to start your day, as orange juice contain high levels of sugar. Commercial orange juice adds even worse amounts of sugar and additives.

12. Saturated fat cause heart disease

In fact, saturated fats from vegetable and animal sources provide cell membranes, hormones, and other substances with building blocks, without which your body won’t be able to function properly. Dietary fats are as well needed to absorb minerals, convert carotene to vitamin A, and many other processes.

11.Eating fat makes you fat

This myth was probably the most harmful one among all other health recommendations. Ever since Americans began to follow the low-fat craze, they have actually become fatter than they ever were.

Following a low-fat diet causes you to eat more of the unhealthy trans-fats, which increase your risk of obesity, heart disease and diabetes. The primary causes of weight gain are consuming too many grains and loads of sugar, and not too much fat.

10.It’s all about calorie control

This is simply wrong. For example, 250 calories from a candy bar versus 250 from a meat steak will obviously not cause the same weight gain. It is the source of the calories and not the number of calories.
