'Eggs, give cholesterol'
This is a 'beautiful' example of a false truth about nutrition, firmly rooted in people's heads. Yet this is absolutely false, this is a myth that classical medicine calls 'the lie on cholesterol'. Unfortunately, this belief has deprived many eggs of patients suffering from too much cholesterol for decades! In fact, our dietary cholesterol has little impact on blood levels. It is therefore not by increasing the intake of dietary cholesterol that one is likely to increase the level of blood cholesterol. It is rather saturated fatty acids. If you have high LDL cholesterol (high cholesterol), you must first control your intake of saturated fat.
'Fat makes you fat'
Fortunately this myth is disappearing and little by little people are showing more discernment. Because, we can not put all the fat in the same bag! Some fats are good and even provide different functions essential to health. Indeed, lipids are key components of cell membranes and brain tissue. They also allow our body to make different hormones and are one of the main sources of vitamins A, D, E and K. Lipids are the basic constituents of our diet, which provide us with the most energy (1 g corresponds to 9 kilocalories) and they 'also make it possible to assimilate proteins'! You still want to deprive you of lipids ??
'Eating cereals is convenient and nutritious! '
Uh no ! Besides it's less and less fashionable and that's good! Because cereals and more generally carbohydrates have a direct impact on the health of the body. From the brain to the digestive system, from the heart to inflammatory diseases, the deleterious effects of carbohydrates are now proven by science. Depression, Alzheimer's disease, autism, cancer, diabetes, in short the link between many diseases and cereals is very narrow.
Unfortunately, there are still many myths about diet. The subject interests you ?
