6 Nutritional Facts

1. Meat Does Not Rot In Your Colon - The human body is well equipped to digest and absorb all the important nutrients found in meat. The protein gets broken down in the stomach by stomach acids and then the rest of it gets broken down in the small intestine by powerful digestive enzymes. All the fats, proteins and nutrients are then moved past the digestive wall and into the body. There is simply nothing left to “rot” in the colon.
2. Low-Fat Does Not Equal Healthy - Foods that are naturally low-fat (like fruits and vegetables) are great, but processed foods with “low-fat” on the label are usually loaded with unhealthy ingredients. Foods taste bad without the fat therefore food manufacturers add a whole bunch of sugar to them instead.
3. Fruit Juice Is Not That Different From Sugary Soft Drinks - A lot of people believe that fruit juices are healthy. It seems to make sense because they come from fruit. While the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in fruit juice give it a nutritional edge over soft drinks, it can be the same or more sugars and calories.
4. Cholesterol Is Not The Enemy - What people generally refer to as “cholesterol” isn’t really cholesterol. When people talk about the so-called “bad” and “good” cholesterol, they’re actually referring to the proteins that carry cholesterol around. LDL stands for Low Density Lipoprotein and HDL stands for High Density Lipoprotein. The truth is, cholesterol is not the enemy. The main determinant of heart disease risk is the type of Lipoproteins that carry cholesterol around, not cholesterol itself. 
5. Organic” Or “Gluten-Free” Does Not Equal Healthy - There are many health trends in the world these days. Organic food is popular and going gluten-free is trendy. However, just because something is organic or gluten-free, it doesn’t mean that it is healthy. For example, you can make all sorts of junk foods out of organic ingredients.
6. Weight Loss Supplements Almost Never Work - There are tons of different weight loss supplements on the market. The problem is that they almost never work. They are claimed to lead to magical results but fail when put to the test in actual studies. Even the ones who do work, the effect is too small to really make a noticeable difference. The truth is that the only way to lose weight and keep it off, is to adopt to a more active and healthier lifestyle.
