Question

12. Explain any three Myths about Food.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Microwaving The Food Reduces Its Nutritional Value

It is often believed that steaming the vegetables in the microwave could reduce the nutritional value of the veggie. However, if you use a little bit of water and cover the vegetables, it will actually help in keeping all the vitamins and minerals intact and steam the vegetables in the best possible manner.

2. Organic Food Is More Healthy

Eating anything that is organic isn't okay. Organic snacks eaten in excess, thinking that they are healthy, can cause you more harm than good.

3. Salads Are Always The Healthiest Options On The Menu

Salads are indeed healthy but all the toppings and dressings that are later added to it like mayonnaise etc. have fats and are high on calorie count.

4. Egg Yolks Are Bad For Health

Whole egg is high in cholesterol but low in fat. Including the whole egg in your diet will not affect your cholesterol levels or risk of having a heart attack or any other such disease.

• They can, however, cause weight gain if cooked in butter, margarine, cream, or any other fatty substance rather than simply boiled in water.

2. Drinking water between meals will upset your digestion.

• There is no research or evidence to support the claim that drinking water while eating a meal can cause bloating, acid reflux, or other negative health effects.
• According to many studies and experts, drinking water while eating can actually help with digestion.

3. Having milk right after eating fish.

• There is no scientific evidence to suggest that drinking milk after eating fish is harmful or causes skin pigmentation.
• Because curd is a dairy product and a necessary ingredient in many fish dishes, this theory is rendered obsolete.
