There are number of food myths floating around everywhere like UFOs. You might have heard about them but might not be sure about the truth and facts. Here are five food myths that you should never believe:
1. Chocolate causes acne: Most common myth among teenagers. Most of the college going teens believe that taking chocolate causes acne. But in reality there is no link between acne and chocolate. Pimples are caused by hormonal changes, overactive oil glands, genetic make-up and dead skin cells stopping pores, not because of eating chocolate. According to skin experts acne is not caused by consuming any specific food including potato chips, soda, candy and French fries.
2. Eggs are not good for heart: A recent study revealed that eating an egg daily is good for health. But there is a myth which states that eggs are bad for heart as they contain cholesterol in yolks. But 211 milligrams of cholesterol in a large egg is advisable to have a good health. Taking negligible amount of cholesterol doesn’t affect your heart at all. Consuming an egg a day reduces macular degeneration because of carotenoid content. One full egg contains nine essential amino acids and six grams of proteins.
3. Adding salt to water cooks faster and changes boiling point: This food myth has been passed from generation. Adding salt to water actually reduces the boiling point but most people use salt to change the boiling point. But addling salt may not affect the cooking patter but alters the boiling point. Use salt to increase pasta or chips taste.
4. Don’t drink water in between your meals: To mix food with digestive juices water is compulsory. Drink small glass of water for proper digestion. Remember to take at least six litters of water a day to stay healthy. Taking water in between meals may reduce your appetite apart from this there is no scientific evidence that having water is not good for digestion.
5. Papaya is not good during pregnancy: Ripe papaya filled with full of vitamins and minerals is good for health, mainly to pregnant woman. You can add a cup of papaya in your daily diet to increase your health, but consult doctor before adding it to your diet chart. Papaya that is unripe may contain latex which is not good for health. It may cause indigestion and uterine contraction. Take only ripe papaya for better results.
