Sometimes it seems that every day scientists conduct research, the results of which radically change the idea of the correct image. Every day there is information that this and this is insanely useful, but this and that is deadly. But sometimes such myths are created on purpose in order to siphon as much money as possible from gullible people.
1. Antibacterial hand gel should always be at hand
The causative agents of the two most common infections, stomach flu and clostridial infections, are resistant to antibacterial gels. To keep your hands clean, just wash them with soap.
2. Microwave is hazardous to health
The microwave, on the contrary, stores vitamins in food better than the oven.

3. Almond milk instead of cow's
Yes, almond milk contains more protein than cow's milk, but it is still only 2% of the required daily intake. But vitamins, such as in ordinary milk, are not in it.
4. Juices in the morning
The juice squeezed from fruits and vegetables contains only sugar. All fiber remained in the cake.
5. Eat only egg whites
Cholesterol, which a person gets from food every day, cannot significantly affect the level of cholesterol in the blood, unless only in the presence of heart pathologies.
6. Vitamin complexes for everyone
Almost 50% of people take vitamin complexes daily, although after decades of research, there is no tangible evidence of their benefits.
7. Detoxification of the body
Human kidneys and liver are much stronger and more reliable than they seem. And certainly not a single cleansing diet will help them. Better to learn how to eat right.
8. Vitamin C is never too much
A daily dose of more than 2000 mg per day may cause diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, palpitations, headaches, and other side effects.
9. Priority to low-fat foods
After a survey of 50,000 women who ate low-fat foods, they found no lower risk of breast, colon, or heart disease. And they lost no more excess weight than the control group.
10. No monosodium glutamate
Monosodium glutamate is completely safe. All strange sensations are caused by either excessive impressionability or banal overeating.
