Dietitian Nutritionists Debunk 19 Diet Myths | Debunked

How can people believe beans and fruits are bad? What kind of crap people eat in US?

An apple a day keeps anyone away if you throw it hard enough.

"Ask professionals, not the internet" me, watching this on the internet: confusion intensifies

I love the sentence “every time we eat is an opportunity to take care of ourselves and eat a nutritious meal” - that speaks to me!

So basically just be balanced, avoid ultra refined foods, ignore marketing. Got it.

Just fyi anyone who has done a short course on nutrition can call themselves a "nutritionist". Dieticians are qualified specialists.

My mom was teaching kindergarten and had some apple juice. One of her students said "Youre not supposed to drink ur fruit, ur supposed to eat it". She was food shamed by a 4 year old 🤣

Wait. I thought we all understood that the "apple a day" thing was just a saying that means if you eat healthy, you will won't get sick as often.

Some of these myths... Who the hell ever thought that candy was as healthy as fruits?!?

people myth: "beans are toxic" me as a brazilian: sweats in confusion

As a person that is lactose intolerant I appreciate the explanation on why I didn't always get sick after eating cheese.

The "one glass of red wine a day is good for your heart" myth comes from a misinterpreted scientific study, the results of which suggested this interpretation. The study showed overall slightly better heart conditions in participants who drank one glass of red wine a day. While the effects COULD be linked to alcohol widening blood vessels in theory, it's much more likely that those participants who could afford to drink a glass of red wine a day (but not more) were just much wealthier people. And since health is HEAVILY linked to wealth that explanation is the most likely one. So in reality, it's a typical human error not differentiating between correlation and causality – and therefore it became this urban legend. ^^

The breakfast myth comes from kellogg's propaganda in the 60s. They just wanted to sell cereal.

my dad will skip meals because he's getting fat...and then drink beer every day with a literal beer belly

"If it's between a snickers or an apple, eat the apple!" nice try, i was eating a butterfinger.

“Ask professionals, not the internet.” But the internet is freeeeeee

“beans are toxic” yet y’all stay drinking coffee every day 💀

Why did you put nutritionists in the video title and description when they're both registered dietitians? I believe there is a difference, so shouldn't you specify?

Oh my gosh! I got into a heated debate over white potatoes with a woman (while on a couples group trip) and she decided that she wouldn't TALK to me anymore because I didn't think they were bad or making her "fat". (her poor husband just wanted a baked potato with his dinner and she was shaming him out of it, which I find so bizarre, why would you ever treat your spouse like a child?) Anyway, she didn't talk to me for the rest of the 4 days we were on that trip. Point is, people get VERY defensive over food issues.

Thank you for explaining the milk thing! I have never liked dairy milk and was always told I would lack calcium. But whenever I get my calcium levels tested I always did well.
