Nutrition Truths And Myths
October 20th, 2005
Here’s a quick nutrition knowledge quiz. True or false:
* If I eliminate all visible fat from meat and discard the skin from poultry, I’ll get rid of most of the cholesterol.
* Meat labeled 85 percent lean is a healthy choice.
* Ounce for ounce, green peppers contain as much vitamin C as oranges.
* Tomatoes and carrots provide more nutritional value when they’re eaten raw.
All four of those statements are false. How did you score?
If you missed one or more, don’t worry! A dietetics professional can help you learn the straight facts on nutrition and develop a personalized eating plan that is right for your and your family.
