Your parents believed it.  Chances are if YOU have kids, you believe it too.  Sugar filled foods make your kids hyper.  What if I told you that's not true.  A study in 1995 found there is NO conncection between hyperactivity in children and the ammount of sugar they eat.  Here are some other food myths you might still believe.

  • Multigrain bread is better.  It might be depending on the bread, but some brands just put multigrain on the package to make it seem healthier.  All it means is that there are more than one kind of grain.
  • Vitamin C prevents colds.  A study in 2013 found it's only true for people who get a crazy amount of exercise, like marathon runners.  For the rest of us, it might shorten the DURATION of a cold.  But it won't actually prevent you from getting sick.
  • Diabetes comes from eating too much sugar.   It can, but not necessarily.  Diabetes has to do with gaining weight.  So you can develop it from eating too much of anything, not just sugar.
  • Celery is a negative calorie food.  Meaning you burn more calories consuming it than are actually in it.  But in reality, there aren't any negative calorie foods.
