Comments on debunking myths
1. Cutting boards made of wood served lovers of cooking faithfully. They were taken care of, passed from hand to hand, painted with Khokhloma on the reverse side and presented for women's holidays. But from the pedestal of the kitchen world, the cutting boards have been toppled by the myth of their evil. Hordes of harmful microbes, hiding in cracks, were waiting for their victorious hour! Destruction of faithful cutting boards was immediate, but in vain! Recent research by scientists has proven that this is not true. It is enough to wash and dry the board thoroughly and it is ready to use again. Moreover, it has been proven that oak planks are a disinfectant due to tannins. Like this!
2. Advice to housewives that salt water before cooking, it will boil faster, has no evidence base. Therefore, we study chemistry at the level of the school curriculum. It says that the boiling point of water is not affected by how much salt is in the water.
3. The boom in low-fat food is a smart move by marketers. The truth is that in all these yoghurts, curds, kefirs there is a minimum of "good" fats, and a maximum of "harmful" ones!
4. An obligatory companion of our childhood was a glass of milk. Loving parents took care of the strength of the bones of the growing body. The revaluation is incredible! Indeed, in greens, potatoes, nuts, different varieties of cabbage, the calcium content is not less. Namely, he is responsible for the fortress of the skeleton!
5. Numerous nutritionists, advising their clients to drink at least two liters of water, did a disservice. We are all, fortunately, completely different. Who needs how much water a day is exclusively individual. Listen to your body, notice its signals, it will not deceive! Your health is in your hands!
6. The rejection of aluminum utensils was influenced by the research of American scientists. In the course of these studies, a connection was revealed between Alzheimer's disease and the content of aluminum in the brain. The conclusion seemed simple. The source of aluminum ingestion into the body is the dishes made from it. In turn, further research did not confirm this fact. Moreover, aluminum that enters the human body is processed by the kidneys and safely excreted, and therefore the dishes from it are harmless.
7. It has not yet been invented more foolish than the myth that after six o'clock in the evening a person who cares about his health should not take food. After all, the only thing that matters is the fact that the stomach must free itself from food before bedtime. And for a light dinner, this period will be 3-4 hours.
