Sasquatch Books 800/775-0817 www.sasquatchbooks.com Nutrition Myth Busting With Michelle Babb, MS, RD, CD Myth #1: Carbs are evil Carbohydrates provide energy for the body and are the main source of fuel for the brain and central nervous system. When you starve your body of carbs, you're essentially starving your brain. With that said, not all carbs are created equal. Eat plenty of complex carbohydrates, including vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Myth #2: Avocados are fattening It's true that avocado is a high-fat food, but the types of fat found in avocados are easily absorbed and utilized by the body and have many anti-inammatory benets. Avocados provide nearly twenty essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B vitamins, and folic acid. They also act as a nutrient booster by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients. One quarter of an avocado is one serving. Enjoy! Myth #3: Beans are bad news Thanks to the Paleo diet craze, many people are now avoiding beans based on a flawed argument that the lectins in beans are toxic and can cause damage to the intestinal lining. It's true that beans contain lectins, which are sugar-binding proteins, but so do many of the other healthy foods we eat every day. Cooking foods at high temperatures denatures the lectins and, since we always cook beans before we eat them, the problem is automatically solved. Beans are an excellent source of folate and other B vitamins and rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium. They're also a great source of fiber, which is essential for blood sugar balance and cholesterol management. Myth #4: Everyone should avoid wheat and grains in general Approximately 1 percent of the US population suffers from celiac disease, an autoimmune condition that causes intestinal damage when the gluten protein is ingested. Another estimated 6 to 7 percent of the population has an allergy or sensitivity to gluten, and for all of these people, its important to avoid consuming gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, rye, and spelt. But if youre not sensitive to wheat or gluten, whole wheat grains can be a great source of fiber, B vitamins, and other essential nutrients. And even if gluten is a problem, there are some extremely nutritious grains that are naturally gluten free, like quinoa, buckwheat, and brown rice. Myth #5: Soy is a no-no because of the estrogens Im sure plenty of people are looking for any excuse not to eat tofu again, but soy has definitely been the target of some unjust accusations. The biggest concern seems to be the phytoestrogens in soy, which happen to be about 1/10,000 of the strength of human estrogen and are known to be protective against breast cancer when soyfoods are consumed through puberty. Soy has also been shown to be protective against prostate cancer, so even men can benefit from the phytonutrients in soy. The best bet is to eat minimally processed soyfoods, like edamame, tofu, tempeh, and miso. Soy is a great plant-based source of protein and its rich in calcium, magnesium, and folate.
