If a lie is told often, it becomes the truth and people start believing it. Same has happened with our eating habits. There are many foods which are good for us and still we are advised not to eat them as they are said to be unhealthy. Let's find out some of the most common of them!
1. Egg Yolk- The health scare about cholesterol levels is mad. You're literally throwing away the tasty part. and it has nutrients as well.
2. Peanut Butter- Sometimes 'fat counters' see the fat content and avoid it like the plague, but it's low in saturated fat and high in protein. Good for growing kids or an energy boost. But do not eat the entire tub in one sitting. Everything in moderation and balance with physical activity.
3. Pepper Like cayenne- No it's not going to give you an ulcer or make your ulcer worse. The opposite.

4. Coffee- I have had so many arguments where people try to say how terrible coffee is for you and the addiction. Look up the health benefits, everything in moderation.![]
5. Chocolate- Until it has a high cocoa content (at least 60% is good, 80% or more and it's very bitter) it's actually healthy for you to have some. Just don't overdo it.
6. Salt: Salt gets a huge bad rap as far as studied health effects are concerned. Most high blood pressure is genetic and/or obesity related. The case for a high sodium diet causing hbp is weak.
