Don’t Believe These Food Myths!

[DoctorYoun]

Eating healthy fats like in avocados, olives and wild caught fish is good for you. Outside of Europeans, much of the world is lactose intolerant. Milk can be inflammatory and contribute to acne. We eat too much meat as a society. Protein can also come from leafy greens, nuts and beans.

“Everyone should drink milk”
Lactose intolerant people: I don’t even exist I’m just a hallucination baby

My parents kept telling my old daycare that I was lactose intolerant, but they just kept forcing everyone (including me) to drink at least half a cup every single day. Then they complained to my parents about me always feeling like shit when I was there... Seriously, where did this myth even come from?

"Eat PROTEIN every meal" should be right instead, not "eat meat every meal".

Looks like the Mediterranean diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables, and very little meat and dairy. I'm eating that way now and feel very good following that program (and I have tried most every diet style out there).

Could you cover other foods?
Examples:
*Carrots = better eyesight
*Drinking 8 glasses of water each day
*Sleeping after eating is bad for you
*Eggs are bad for you (cholesterol/fat)
*"Juicing" is healthier than regular, unsweetened juice
*Eating chocolate gives you or worsens acne
*Etc.

I used to drink so much milk thinking I’m gonna be big and strong one day: then I drank it one day and I got sick, my stomach hurt so bad, I thought it was because of an egg, then we quickly realized, I’m lactose intolerant!!

“We eat too much meat as a society” is too funny for me because despite not being vegan or vegetarian, I eat less meat than half of my ancestors. I’m part of an Indigenous group (Inuit) that, pre-colonization ate an almost exclusively meat based diet. Honestly- the majority of my community would be healthier if we could eat more of a traditional diet, which is something unattainable due to colonization/capitalism as well as environmental factors such as pollution (especially micro-plastics and mercury)

The myth that milk makes you taller is bs. Im 19 female rn and ive drank a big cup of milk everyday since i was born mostly because i like it and im just 5'3. I even drank 2 big mugs till i was probably 11-12 then went down to 1. So yeah milk doesn't make you taller.

I'm 70 and I've drunk milk almost every day since I was born. I like it. Osteoporosis runs in my family and I need all the calcium I can get. I generally drink a glass a day.

That milk myth always made no sense because every time I tried to drink it it activated my gag reflex so bad 🤷‍♀️
Edit: research tells me that there are two types of people: people who find milk disgusting and people who manage to like it

I'm from Germany and not even over here do they tell you to eat meat every day.
My uncle suffers from gout, because he used to eat a lot of pork. You don't want that shit guys, it hurts. Very very bad.

I love milk and yogurt, consume then regularly, and have no issues with these foods. Everyone is different. Eat what works for you. Healthy diets come in many shapes and sizes.

[butterqueeen]

When you really think about it isn’t it kind of weird how humans are drinking the breast milk of other animals and saying it’s healthy and we all should do it?

We love our healthy fats, most of us are allergic to milk but can eat aged cheeses and we eat meat maybe once a day. Our left over meats like chicken pork shrimp and stake are usually made into egg foo young for breakfast and served with ginger fried rice. Most foods are wonderful in moderation.

I am actualy European... Same with my mom, but she doesn't really have like a full "lactose intolerance" if you know what I mean, she can drink milk, but in a specific amount.
