Five Food Myths Exposed - Forbes.com

“It’s unfortunate, not only because you end up getting less pleasure out of the meals but also because it’s not good for your health,” says Barry Glassner, author of the new book The Gospel of Food: Everything You Think You Know About Food Is Wrong. “You get more out of a meal physically and emotionally when it’s a pleasure to eat.”What’s more, in chasing down a healthy diet, Glassner says, Americans have accepted as fact a number of myths and half-truths that need debunking.

The myths in question are:

  1. Fresh is best
  2. Vitamin-enhanced foods are better
  3. A meal is worthy for what it lacks
  4. Natural means less processed
  5. Some foods are inherently bad for you

You can read the article to learn why these myths should be busted.
