While fad diets may change, there are still many “facts” that remain the same. These are the most popular myths about nutrition.
MYTH #1: SEA SALT IS A HEALTHIER VERSION of REGULAR SALT
Table salt is sodium mined. The daily intake is approximately 2,300 mgs per teaspoon. Sea salt is made of evaporated ocean water. It contains approximately 2,300 mgs of sodium. They are nearly identical.
Sea salt supporters claim that it contains magnesium and iron in small quantities, but these minerals aren’t present in large amounts. To get substantial amounts of sodium, you would have to consume a lot (potentially fatal) of it.
Iodine can also be added to table salt. This is essential for hormone regulation. Sea salt is almost devoid of iodine. Sea salt has almost no iodine. It was also expensive.
MYTH #2: ENERGY DRINKS ARE HARMFUL HANDS LESSER THE SODA
Red Bull, Monster and Full Throttle energy drinks are designed to increase your energy levels. They contain a variety of B vitamins, herbal extracts and amino acids. These drinks are high in sugar, which is what your body remembers best. A 16-ounce can contains 280 calories of pure sweetness. This is 80 more calories than you would find in a 16-ounce Pepsi.
A University of Maryland study has shown that energy drinks can be 11 times as harmful to your teeth than regular soda. This is what energy drink companies will not tell you: Caffeine, the only source of energy, is the most important. An energy boost can be found in a cup of coffee, as opposed to the sugary surge.
MYTH #3: DIET SODA IS HARMLESS
Researchers are becoming more aware of the dangers associated with diet sodas that contain artificial sweeteners such as sucralose and aspartame. These sweeteners can lead to difficult-to-control food cravings later in the day.
Purdue University’s study revealed that artificial sweeteners before meals resulted in rats eating more calories. According to a University of Texas study, people who only consumed three diet sodas per week were 40% more likely than those who drank four. Switch to carbonated water flavored with fresh herbs and flavors like lemon, cucumber, or tequila.
MYTH #4: Low-fat foods are better for your body
Food marketing is a simple concept. Low fat can also mean “loaded with salt, high carbohydrates”, such as Smucker’s Reduced Fat Peanut Butter. Smucker also added maltodextrin as a replacement for the fat it had skimmed. This won’t help you lose weight.
The New England Journal of Medicine published a 2008 study that found people who eat lower carbohydrate diets lose 62 percent more weight than those who eat higher fat. Peanut butter is a healthy monounsaturated oil that is good for the heart. Peanut butter should be consumed at a higher intake than your daily intake.
