Navigating the world of food can be tricky. Whether you’re trying to eat healthy sifting through layers of online misinformation following the diet your friend swears by or deciphering nutrition labels making smart food choices can seem downright impossible. For example 60 years ago everyone knew that frozen dinners on TV were the future and that the microwave was the best easiest and most convenient way to eat. Today most of us in the know try to avoid mysterious frozen meat dinners that are loaded with added salt preservatives and other not-so-great ingredients.

12 Food Storage Myths Debunked
To further complicate matters the food facts we think we know—old sayings and collective knowledge—aren’t always accurate. Just because something has been passed down from one person to another doesn’t mean it’s still accurate today. But knowing exactly what’s true what’s false and what’s somewhere in between can be confusing. Here we’ve rounded up 12 of the most common food facts that aren’t actually true at all.
The girl on the subway the influencer clogging up your Instagram feed and the guy pumping weights all have one thing in common: They’re drinking green juice. Whether you see them on your local farmer’s menu at Starbucks or as a grab-and-go option at the grocery store green juices are everywhere — promising us our daily servings of fruits veggies fiber and healthy probiotics to support our biome. But green juices aren’t all that great for us. Depending on what kind you buy they may not be healthy at all. In fact they can be a sugar bomb without most of the fiber and nutrients of the fruits and vegetables they contain.
Green juices are any juices that contain green vegetables and fruits. It could be a combination of kale spinach pears parsley and lemon; or a blend of apples broccoli mint and wheatgrass. The recipe depends entirely on where you buy it. According to Healthline many green juices you buy in the store are pasteurized a process that kills bacteria but renders many of the nutrients in the added fruits and vegetables useless. Additionally bottled green juices contain sugar—sometimes a lot of it—to make these blends palatable. As for fiber most of it is lost during the juicing process. There is also the potential risk of oxalates which can lead to kidney damage. Overall if you want a healthier option make your own green juice but don’t use it as a replacement for meals or eating real fruits and vegetables.
