Detoxing.
If you have working kidneys, you shouldn’t need to detox.
Also: weight-loss teas. they give you diharrea so you lose weight in water, which you will immediately gain again.There’s a myth that MSG is bad for you and is found in Chinese restaurants. MSG has been studied extensively and never found to cause the symptoms people claim, furthermore MSG is used widely in a huge range of food production (lots of sauces, fast foods etc etc)
Same with aspartame. Its been studied until the cows come home and it is safe.
MSG is very common in mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and tomatoes. It’s why people love Italian food ao much
You need to shower/bathe often. Actually the skin, the biggest organ of our bodies, is great at taking care of itself and washing it (especially with soap et.al) is bad if done too much.
“But(t) smell!”
Well yeah, I agree, but that doesn’t change the way our skin has evolved :P
I have seborrheic dermatitis so not washing my skin causes a rash.
But that’s a fungus allergy so aren’t you mostly treating it with anti-fungus medication?
(One of the proposed mechanisms for why skin becomes allergic to the malassezia yeast in the first place is that we disturb it through our washing routines but there’s no consensus on that afaik)
I’m candida overgrowth myself and too much washing with soap worsens it in my case. The human body is a wonderful thing :P
Anti-vaxxers sadly
That there are a lot of “Chemicals” in something, and that it’s bad for you.
Everything is Chemicals.
dihydrogen monoxide = waterIn my family I often hear: A glass of wine a day is good for your health. Dieting doesn’t help to loose weight. Spinach has a lot of iron. Onions may have more salmonella than fresh meat. Vegetarian lifestyle is unhealthy. Chiropractors, homeopathy, TMC, natural medicine works.
Things being low fat. Sometimes it’s just watered down or packed with sugar, so it may not be healthy at all
Counter point - fat is actually healthy
Trans fats are bad.
Excess saturated fat could be bad depending on the health condition of the person.
Trans fats are bad.
ok, yeah, agreed.
Excess saturated fat could be bad depending on the health condition of the person.
This doesn’t match my reading of the literature. Even if someone had extensive CVD dietary fat wont increase their bad outcome risks. The damaged cholesterol (glycated and oxidate) is the warning sign of CVD issues - and that is caused by dietary sugar/carbs/industrial oils.
No one food is “healthy” or “unhealthy”, it always depends on how much of it and what else you eat.
True. But fat is one of the foods it’s hard to eat too much of.
Try to sit down to a big bowl of butter. It’s just hard to eat by itself. In fact it’s one of the tricks used in the keto community to determine a addictive craving versus actual hunger. If you’re willing to eat butter by itself, you’re hungry, if you’re not willing to eat the butter but you still have a craving that’s addiction
Most of common sense advice about nutrition (everything since the 1950s) is basically 180 degrees backwards
[Update to clarify, HERE IS THE CORRECT ADVICE]
- carbohydrates are not essential
- fat is healthy and shouldn’t be avoided
- cico isn’t helpful
- industrial food oils are not good for you
- cholesterol is healthy
- meat is healthy, avoiding meat is bad for health
- grains should be avoided and not be the base of people’s diets
To be clear: the above points are FALSE and the true is the opposite. (Just to avoid people misread and keep pushing wrong ideas)
Given how internet people usually apply brain, a “/s” would have been not a bad idea :)
Many of the points OP made are indeed true. You would be the one stuck with the myths ;)
No, they’re overcorrecting to the point of being myths in the opposite direction.
- Carbs ARE essential to your body, but your body can make them from quite a few things, making them an unimportant part of a diet, especially since they’re easy to get more of.
- Fat isn’t unhealthy by itself, but saturated fats make it VERY easy to over-eat fat.
- CICO is exactly how thermodynamics itself works… Your body isn’t magic. The lies come from people who claim counting calories on the labels is all you need to do.
- industrial oils are only bad in so far as they are not pure, just like most industrialized products. (think acceptable levels of rat turds in food)
- meat is a part of a healthy diet, yes, but many people eat too much of it for how sedentary their lifestyle is.
