The Truth Behind Some of the Most Popular Food Myths


In an era dominated by social media, it's increasingly difficult to distinguish between actual science-backed claims about what we eat and drink and those that have become popular only because they were posted by a celebrity or influencer, then liked and shared by thousands of other people.

In many cases, these food myths gain even more traction when a reputable news source features them. These segments are often taken completely out of context once they get posted in social media.

Take for example a report in the news, "Glass of Red Wine Equivalent to Hour of Gym Time." While their guests, Doctors Marc Siegel and David Samadi, discussed how the benefits of exercising far outweigh those of the resveratrol found in red wine, only a paraphrased version of the headline made it to the social media platforms, a majority of which didn't even have a link to the news report or the study behind it.

In line with the celebration of the National Nutrition Month® of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, we will try to help separate fact from fiction by debunking some of the more widespread misconceptions associated with the food we eat.

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...
