The " 5 misunderstood foods and how to spot nutrition myth. "
When it comes to eating well, making good choices has probably never been quite as confusing as it is right now. “It’s a Wild West out there in terms of health misinformation,” says Walter Willett, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “Anybody can claim to be a nutrition expert, but they are not always reliable sources.”
That’s why it’s important to cast a critical eye on any nutritional information you see online or on social media. “Be especially wary of people who paint foods as 100 percent good or bad or who like to label certain foods as ‘toxic,’” says Jessica Clifford, an extension nutrition specialist in the food science and human nutrition department at Colorado State University. “The truth is rarely that black-and-white.”
Some nutrition topics generate more confusion than others. We asked a few experts to weigh in on five frequently misunderstood issues.
