Food myths explained — this video covers twenty things most people still believe about food, nutrition, and diet that the science has since walked back, disproven, or traced directly to a marketing campaign. The eight glasses of water rule has no clinical origin. The idea that eating fat makes you fat was based on research that has since been heavily criticized. The low fat movement that followed may have made the obesity problem worse. Breakfast being the most important meal of the day was invented by Kellogg's in 1917 to sell cereal. And the carrot eyesight myth was British wartime propaganda designed to hide radar technology from the Germans. Twenty food myths. Twenty corrections. Most of what shaped your relationship with food was not food science — it was advertising, assumption, and ideas that spread before anyone thought to test them.
