We often hear people telling each other, how to eat correctly. While giving the truth common "people's" misconceptions. Let's try to refute the popular myths about healthy eating.

1. MYTH: Sugar better than glucose-fructose syrup
According to nutritionist David Zinchenko, GFS, and sugar, or sucrose, is made from a mixture of two sugars: fructose and glucose 50 to 50, and this means that it is in principle the same, and also not too good for You.

2. MYTH: Healthy food is much more expensive
The economic research service of the Ministry of agriculture of the USA has studied more than 4000 kinds of products and issued data based on price, weight, calories and portion size. It was found that healthy food is actually cheaper than unhealthy food. Bananas, carrots, potatoes, orange juice and salad cheaper per serving than French fries, soda, ice cream and fried chicken.

3. MYTH: Multivitamins are important for Your health
Yes, vitamins and minerals is useful, but You must get them from food, not from tablets. This is necessary for the reason that Your body can absorb only 10-20% of what You consume. The rest goes to make a really expensive bright yellow urine.

4. MYTH: Soda is bad, energy drinks is good
Energy drinks do contain vitamins, herbal extracts, amino acids, but the average of the Bank on 16 oz contains about 280 calories of pure sugar, which is 80 calories more than in bottles of Pepsi to 16 ounces. Sorry to disappoint.

5. MYTH: Restaurants offer more healthy food than fast foods
According to an 18-month study conducted by the Rand Corporation, it is not. They analyzed the contents of almost 31,000 menu offered in 245 family networks, and found that 96% of their food contains more calories, fat and sodium than the USDA recommends to absorb at one meal for children and adults. Plus they contain on average more calories 271 unit and 16 grams of fat rather than eating fast-food. In other words, both on the side of unhealthy food.

6. MYTH: Diet soda harmless
Even if You don't believe soda carcinogenic, but numerous reports show that the artificial sweetener aspartame and Sucralose lead to increased absorption of food in the same day and a greater number of calories consumed as a whole. Ordinary water though, and tasteless, but does not like.

7. MYTH: Products with low fat content is better
Yes, in theory. But the majority of products with low fat contain sugar and a lot of carbohydrates, which Your body will convert into fat if You eat too many of them. Thus, as would be compensated by the low content of fat in the product.

8. MYTH: You have to cut carbohydrates
Carbohydrates provide the energy, without them You'd be all the time sleepy and sluggish. What is really important, so it's kind of carbohydrates. In other words, donuts - bad, wholegrain bread - well.

9. MYTH: Natural foods healthier
Again, in theory, Yes. But marketing gimmicks make the product "natural", while it can include a high content of glucose-fructose syrup, sugar and tons of sodium. If You are not too carefully read the label, it may very well be for You.

10. MYTH: Daily calorie not absorbed in fat
Despite the claims of the popular talk show, calories are calories. Your body don't care when You consume them when it comes to weight loss, only matters how much You consume.

11. MYTH: the Raw food helps digestion
Fans of the raw food diet say that food warming more than 118 degrees, destroys the necessary enzymes. That is true, but it doesn't matter. Because the enzymes necessary for plants and not for Your health. In fact, the first thing that Your stomach does with uncooked food is the destruction of those " necessary" enzymes.

12. MYTH: Juice quickly cleans the body
The problem juice is that it contains a lot of sugar. Instead of cleaning, after a quick transition to the juice, You just fill your body with empty calories. You can also clean the organism and beer.

13. MYTH: Chocolate is a horror
This fact should please You. Chocolate itself is good for You, but not the milk chocolate, which You eat, and consisting mainly of milk fat and sugar. Just buy a good dark chocolate!

14. MYTH: Granola - a very healthy food
It must be so, but it is not. Most of muesli is covered with icing and poured oil. For example: one Cup Quaker Natural Granola, Nuts & Raisins contains 420 calories, 30 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of fat. Another doughnut, Mr. Simpson?

15. MYTH: Organic food is always preferable
Basically Yes, but not always. Onions, for example, in accordance with the data of the Environmental working group has the lowest ability to absorb pesticides out of all vegetables. In addition, avocado, corn and pineapples better to buy organic.
