There are many common facts everyone knows about food. However, are they really true or just myths we believe? Let's find out!
We are used to eat according to certain rules and consider them to be the only true ones. We think we know what food is good for us and what is harmful. We are sure that we understand why people gain or lose weight. Is it really so? Science doesn't stay in one place. Every day researches are conducted, evidences of some theories appear. However, people continue believing in what their parents taught them, because it seems to be much easier.
These are the most popular myths you believe!
#1

The only thing gluten can cause is allergy but such kind of allergy is so rare (1% of population has it) that you don't have to worry about anything.

LOL - I stopped listening to the "so called" medical expert "faux facts" some time ago. Eat things in moderation. Medical opinions are like AH's, everybody has one.

I believe a balanced diet some exercise is good for you. If you look at this list yes it may not kill you on individual issue but put them all together it will kill you. Sugar and salt are good in moderation but not in excess

Lucy Oakley, be wary of generalising from one family as there may well be a genetic link.
Not long ago, I did a little research on this topic. Here is one summary I came across with regard to Celiac disease, the most severe form.
"a 2018 review of 96 studies of Celiac disease taken all around the world, it was determined that the current worldwide prevalence of celiac disease is 1.4% based on blood tests and 0.7% based on biopsy results. The prevalence of celiac disease was 0.4% in South America, 0.5% in Africa and North America, 0.6% in Asia, and 0.8% in Europe and Oceania. The prevalence was higher in female than male individuals, and was significantly greater in children than adults."

Gluten can cause allergic reactions, but even a small amount is harmful to people who are Celiac. That is not an allergy. Celiac is an auto-immune disease.

I agree with some of these and disagree with others—through experience and some research. What I find disturbing is that the answers are basically wordy “yes or no” answers. What is lacking these days is that people don’t state their sources, if they even have any. :-(

Gluten intolerance is not rare. I have two sisters and umpteen cousins who are gluten intolerant. Also a large percentage of people in Ireland and Italy are as well

Had heard of several of these items. Was surprised that ones I thought were true ended up being false.
