- Two registered dietitian nutritionists debunk 19 of the most common myths about diets. They explain why those with lactose intolerance can actually eat some cheeses. They also debunk the idea that red wine is good for your heart. Turns out, just because it's made of fruit doesn't mean it's good for you. And they share the rough calculation to find out how much water you should drink every day.

How can people believe beans and fruits are bad? What kind of crap people eat in US?
Spray cheese, pop tarts, red wines, mekdunulds. Do muricans even eat what is considered food?
I think they misunderstood the question with beans. There _are_ types of beans that are toxic to eat if you don't cook/soak them properly, like kidney beans. If I had to guess, that was what the question was referring to.
Right? This is why we have so many obese people in this country. You reap what you sow🤷🏻♂️
@@HaohmaruHL what's the problem with red wines idiot?
I heard a large soda in America is the same size and a medium or a big sofa in international

Damn that is hilarious
"Ask professionals, not the internet"
me, watching this on the internet: *confusion intensifies*
That's before now it's "ask professionals on the internet". Because covid.
All those people who say Google is no substitute for a doctor forget that Google is not providing the information, they are simply pointing you to the information. Identify and judge the source. Does Google point you to Joe's Snakeoil, or is it the Mayo Clinic?
@Opressa Era this is the type of information you shouldnt take seriously on the internet.
That's what I was thinking.
@Opressa Era no, just f***ing no. Get the f out of here with your missinformation
My mom was teaching kindergarten and had some apple juice. One of her students said "Youre not supposed to drink ur fruit, ur supposed to eat it". She was food shamed by a 4 year old 🤣
Lol that's a nice burn
In general the kid is right
That 4 year old was actually a dietitian in disguise. Maybe they have all the answers.
Hahaha that came from a mom trying to get her kid to drink less juice 😂
@@briannafries3866 Once in a while I actually like to drink the watered down juice boxes for kids. Something sweet with low sugar. People also get a laugh out of seeing a big man during a little juice box. 🤷🏻♂️
Just fyi anyone who has done a short course on nutrition can call themselves a "nutritionist". Dieticians are qualified specialists.
Thank you! I am a dietitian and people using “nutritionists” is a huge pet peeve
@@davidrihn7704 yay, another RD on CZcams!! Correcting misinformation about dietitians/nutrition on the internet is a hobby of mine, although it does make me mad most of the time!
In my country you have to study like 4 years and have a license to be a nutritionist.
Its different for where you received the education and where you practice it.
In my country, Nutrition and Dietitians share the same class for 2 years and both took different minors in which dieticians majoring more on the pathology side while nutritionist major in more of metabolism(or what ever they choose)
This is the same fight of MD vs DOI.
Why put us go against each other while we are actually in the same team?
Maybe your definition of "short courses" is 4 years so yeah.
Do you know who took short courses on nutrition? It's the MD's. They took it as a subject for at least 2 sems.
While nutritionist took this as their whole degree? So yeah.
@@Honeystarzzz So true!!! Thanks!
So basically just be balanced, avoid ultra refined foods, ignore marketing. Got it.
seems reasonable.
@@asimhussain8716 But I'm an Italian, I physically can't live with my Daily dose of Pasta
@@asimhussain8716 carbs make you feel full and the complex carbs in bread etc take longer to digest and helps prevent you blood sugar from spiking and crashing. Just eat your carbs (as with all things) in moderation and go for a homemade/local bakery bread that doesn't have the extra, unnecessary stuff
@@asimhussain8716 bread IS good for you and has been a part of peoples diets wayy back around ancient Egypt/ Rome. Just don’t buy the over processed stuff. I mean yeast, salt, sugar and grains etc isn’t bad. Some people even make their own breads and pasta. As someone said, local bakeries are amazing places to go
@@asimhussain8716 carbs are what make you full.... you shouldn’t be eating just carbs yes, but being full on anti carb isn’t super healthy for everyone. Personally, I cannot eat much food at all otherwise I feel unwell, carbs help me feel satisfied. Bread isn’t this evil monster that you need to run away from.
I love the sentence “every time we eat is an opportunity to take care of ourselves and eat a nutritious meal” - that speaks to me!
Wait. I thought we all understood that the "apple a day" thing was just a saying that means if you eat healthy, you will won't get sick as often.
Yep, they are just distorting it for the video.
won't = will not
you don't have to add another will
It was a marketing ploy to sell apples . Just like the "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" line was started by John Harvey Kellogg as a marketing gimmick.
Not if you hit the doctor over the head with the apple

people myth: "beans are toxic"
me as a brazilian: *sweats in confusion*
RAW beans that is. And I don't recommend you try it yourself btw.
@@DMINATOR why would anyone eat raw beans?
@@brunamota8865 I don't know, but people do, that's why they can get sick.
@@DMINATORyeah, sure. not even kids would eat raw beans, don't say rude things like that, we brazilians eat beans almost every single day, we KNOW that there's no such idiot that would eat raw beans, it's like eating raw meat, OBVIOUSLY it's going to be bad for your health. so yeah, I would NEVER try it, thanks for the concern
@@amandatoledo2394 Well then you proved my point "OBVIOUSLY it's going to be bad for your health"
Some of these myths... Who the hell ever thought that candy was as healthy as fruits?!?
A package of cookies would have been an interesting challenge. Cookies are sugar with protein and fiber and vitamins/minerals (if fortified). Fruits have sugar and fiber and vitamins/minerals.
Well if US congress considers pizza as a vegetable www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/nov/18/pizza-vegetable-congress-says-so do I have to say more ?
You're missing the nuance. "Fruit is as bad as candy" isn't the same as "candy is as good as fruit". It comes from keto no-sugar diets telling people sugar in any form is bad, even fruit. So fruit is effectively as bad as getting sugar from candy
@@pinkpink-kb6dl "So fruit is effectively as bad as getting sugar from candy"
It's not because of the fiber, and what's bad about candy and anything else that sticks between your teeth for long is that that which fuels cavity causing bacteria for longer.

@@martok2008 I'm not saying I agree with it. I was just telling you where the myth came from
As a person that is lactose intolerant I appreciate the explanation on why I didn't always get sick after eating cheese.
Same for me. Certain dairy, like American and mozzarella cheeses or ice cream bother me (I take Lactaid if I have any of those so I can digest it better and not have to completely give it up) but other things, such as Parmesan cheese or yogurt don’t bother me at all. I *think* (but don’t quote me) it has something to do with the cultures in it.
@@marief8584 It's mostly about lactose and fat content. Parmesan is quite low in both so it doesn't really upset you whereas something like full fat milk is quite fatty and full of lactose, so it causes some more issues in lactose intolerant people.
@@marief8584 yogurt has had its lactose processed by the cultures in it. that is why its not as "bad" for someone with lactose intolerance :)
If a dairy product has no added sugars, any "sugars" on the label are lactose. I look for 1 g or less.
@@kaemincha lactose is a sugar, not a fat
The "one glass of red wine a day is good for your heart" myth comes from a misinterpreted scientific study, the results of which suggested this interpretation. The study showed overall slightly better heart conditions in participants who drank one glass of red wine a day. While the effects COULD be linked to alcohol widening blood vessels in theory, it's much more likely that those participants who could afford to drink a glass of red wine a day (but not more) were just much wealthier people. And since health is HEAVILY linked to wealth that explanation is the most likely one. So in reality, it's a typical human error not differentiating between correlation and causality - and therefore it became this urban legend. ^^
Also, people who tend to drink *one* glass a day by definition have extremely good self regulation behavior, which carries over to other more important aspects like diet and exercise.
Additionally, you have to look at the groups they’re being compared to. A large group of people that drink >1 drink a day is almost certainly going to include some alcoholics who have shorter life expectancies. Additionally, a large group of people that drink 0 drinks a day will likely include people with liver disease or alcoholics that have QUIT alcohol both of these populations have a shorter life expectancy and worse heart health!
yes what you said
Now there are supplements with resveratrol from grapes, so you can skip the alcohol and get the benefits.
I heard this error was bc of people in the data set that were sober at that time but had consumed great amounts of alcohol in the past and had already done some significant damage. So they didn't drink but still had worse health than some people who drank one glass per day.
Also, probably big companies profiting from and selling that mistake.
I think there was also some study of French or Italian population having less incidence of heart issues and their diet had red wine. Could be just a correlation does not equal to causation

The breakfast myth comes from kellogg's propaganda in the 60s. They just wanted to sell cereal.
Its funny how so many of these claims we were taught by company propaganda. Milk, bananas, cereal lol
Amazing how this narrative continues decades later in an age where more information available to the average person.
It's probably not a myth. We maybe shouldn't eat much late in the evening. Can mess up with sleep and circadian rhythm.
Same thing happened with diamonds jewelry. When diamonds weren't famous, no one thought about buying them, so no company has a real business in it. Untill few companies decided to buy the majority of diamonds, creating a monopoly and paying celebrities and film producers to use diamonds in love scenes or as a wonderful jewelry, well, it happened that it actually worked, our society is now crazy about diamonds 😂😂
Also, the diamonds wouldn't be that expensive either. As I said, the few companies bought all the recourses, so they decide the price, even tough their stocks are full of diamonds :D
Yeah and cereal is junk processed human dog food anyways

“beans are toxic” yet y’all stay drinking coffee every day 💀
Coffee is technically brewed seeds, not beans.
@@Geminilion100 Ik but shhh the people who think beans are toxic aren’t smart enough to know- 👩🏻🦯👩🏻🦯
@flaid They're not. Beans are legumes. Seeds are seeds.
@flaid Dude. In regards to this thread in which someone said "beans are toxic, therefore coffee beans are toxic", they are literally not the same thing. Believe it or not, different plants have, oh my gosh, different seeds! Now, beans aren't toxic, but even if they were, eating coffee beans/seeds is not the same as eating bean beans. By that logic, I can't eat blueberries because they're berries, just like nightshade.
@flaid Sure, fine.
Calling a dietitian a nutritionist is like calling a doctor a nurses assistant. I almost didn’t watch because of the title.
YES!!!
Most nutritionists took all the same courses as a dietitian they just didn’t take the dietitian exam.
@@mrdreaming3466 actually in my country a nutritionist has to have more qualifications than a dietician. Also the qualifying exam is for nutritionist not dieticians. In fact dietician in my country is not a real thing. All nutritionist study about diet .
@@pixlfinch1091 yeah the terms are pretty weird and not consistent. In America to be a nutritionist actually is a state by state thing. In some states you actually do need to pass the exam to be labeled a nutritionist. Most states you atleast need a 4 year nutrition degree. People seem to be confusing nutritionist with becoming a certified nutrition coach where you can get that certification through a personal trainer course.
@@pixlfinch1091 I think it might be something to do with translation (and culture). It seems like in the US, RDs have a higher status and are often more educated than nutritionists.
Where I live, I've never heard of this distinction. But there's another category of actual M.Ds that are specialized in nutrition (I couldn't find a direct translation for it).
So there's:
Nutritionist: Get a BA in Nutrition + Register to their Federal Association (sounds like a dietitian to me)
Physician Specialized in Nutrition: Go to Medical School and get into a Nutrition Program (or residency, etc.)
Oh my gosh! I got into a heated debate over white potatoes with a woman (while on a couples group trip) and she decided that she wouldn't TALK to me anymore because I didn't think they were bad or making her "fat". (her poor husband just wanted a baked potato with his dinner and she was shaming him out of it, which I find so bizarre, why would you ever treat your spouse like a child?) Anyway, she didn't talk to me for the rest of the 4 days we were on that trip. Point is, people get VERY defensive over food issues.
Food becomes part of people's religion. Think of the fanaticism of meat-eaters, the extraordinary hate they express towards anyone who suggests society should cut down on meat consumption (like, school meals). A rabid cult even, an essential part of individual identity, in some cases!
She sounds miserable

12:04 As someone whose family is from south india, this one is always hilarious to me. Even today, there are large sections of the population in south india that are vegetarian or vegan or some form of it. Many live perfectly healthy, long and happy lives. Note: I do believe there is an personal aspect to this as well. People have different needs for nutrients, that does come from genetics and even that changes through their lives, but you can pretty much get anything you need without eating meat. My great grandma lived to 104 btw, I don't think she even knew what meat looks like (certain sections of the south indian population have slightly lower B12 needs than the general population for example, which is likely from generations of plant based diets).
Actually it is super interesting the reason is that in India food has natural B12 from bacteria. If the food is too sterile it lacks B12 and you need to take supplements or eat a little bit of meat.
In general vegans in developed countries are always deficient in some nutrients unless they take supplements. Vegetarians who eat some animal products, like eggs and milk, usually don't have this problem. People who have a diet that is heavily skewed towards meat also tend to be deficient.
@@ian1352 I don't think this is a general rule at all. I work in the US at a vegan org so have been veg since 10 and am surrounded by way more vegans than the average person -- B12 is the only one that can be iffy, but a lot of veg foods these days are fortified, as animals are even supplemented w B12 now. So in general, most vegans are fine or even better than fine unless they literally only eat carbs, which is more often seen in people who aren't serious about it.
The diet from that region of India also includes eggs, lassi, paneer .... The average life expectancy for the region is just short of 70.

Why did you put nutritionists in the video title and description when they're both registered dietitians? I believe there is a difference, so shouldn't you specify?
Hi! I wanted to clarify that it’s the same thing, they study nutrition and take an exam to be registered dietitians/nutritionist both terms can be used.
@@Sam-ur8oy depends on the state/country so it's not clear cut
There is definitely a difference where I live. The title nutritionist isn't regulated whereas dieticians are qualified specialists.
Edit: nutritionist
@@Sam-ur8oy it really isn’t . Anyone can be a “nutritionist “ by taking an exam and not even going to college . A “dietician “ goes to school and earns a degree in nutrition/ dietetics .
I'm guessing here in the Philippines they couldn't decide which one to use so maybe that's why I'm seeing titles like "RND" which means "registered nutritionist-dietitian" that only those with a 4-year college degree can have (B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics), along with a qualifying state board exam to get the professional title RND at the end of their name.

It's amazing how old so many of these are. I recall hearing them as a kid (I'm in my 40s) and hearing them debunked by the time I was in HS. People cling to their bs because "that's how I was raised." Yeah, okaaaaaaay...
I often find the phrase “that’s how I was raised” really annoying. I feel like people use it too much when not wanting to change bad habits or hold themselves accountable. (Which is basically what you already said, lol.) I see people using it like a defense mechanism- “well my parents were misinformed and passed that on to me, so you can’t criticize or correct me.” It’s the worst when people know something is wrong (like bigoted beliefs!!) but hold on to them anyway, because “mom & dad taught me that and there’s no possible way they would have taught me anything wrong, blah blah blah.” LOL, I’m sure you get what I mean.
Thats how we were brain washed
The #1 thing I learned from 4 years studying nutrition is moderation. Also that people will ask for your opinion on food and then ignore you when they dont like it.
I think the 'ask for opinions of a professional then ignore when it's not what they want to hear' thing is pretty common in almost every space. Makes me sad.
@witchy90210 I'm sorry that people aren't heeding your professional advice. That's so frustrating to see people get in their own way as I'm sure you went into the field hoping to help people.
I'm so glad "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a myth. I hate people that tell me that just because I'm not hungry for breakfast and skip straight to lunch that I'm hurting myself or depriving myself of nutrients. I'm not, I'm just not hungry in the morning like everyone else is.
The first thing you eat that day, no matter what time, is very important as all your cells get it

A Dietitian is a trained, qualified professional title and a Nutritionist can be just about anyone who tells you to eat healthy. That is a distinct definition that everyone should be more aware of, especially when it comes to taking medical advice. You might want consider changing the title.

While it is true that the term “nutritionist” is unregulated in the US, RDs “dietitians” are not the *only* qualified & educated nutrition professionals. For example, CNS (Certified Nutrition Specialist) or CCN (Certified Clinical Nutritionist) are required to have a masters degree in nutrition, supervised practice experience hours, and pass a credentialing exam. Almost identical credentialing process in terms of needing education/experience/exam, but the education content and context in which these professionals practice is a bit different. RDs are associated and certified through the Academy of Nutrition of Dietetics (AND), while CNSs are through the American Nutrition Association (ANA).

I realize I’m getting old. I’m watching this video like “wow they have GREAT apartments. The interior design is amazing.”
You are not alone
I got excited about my new vacuum and steam cleaner....I am getting old 🤣🤣🤣
Ooh definitely get what you mean, but as an interior designer, the apartments from what we can see look......nice? - Bland - not in a bad way at all, nothings wrong with them, but they are simply just apartments. White walls and the accessory items are muted tones, the exception being the red flowers in the vase - which of course deteriorates so it's not a great choice if that's your show-stopper.
@@zstripez ok so you can chill right there. It’s not necessary for us to not find the apartment nice because you as an “interior designer” said that the it is average. Different people like different things, I’m sure someone will agree with you but not all. 😊
@Lost For now ooh kinda twisting the context there a bit, I was commenting on the lack of what we could see so why would it warrant high design praise if you couldn't see anything. And to your point with that in mind: let me jump on my high horse here - When people pay you to do it - because they believe that your objective opinion on what's a quality design is literally worth money. It kinda gives you a fair shake on what constitutes as an apartment people would pay for in terms of design. And again, since we can't see anything, my consensus was "nice" because that's what they are nice - but bland. you can't see anything, so I'm basing it off of what we all see through that frame. That's what they are "nice". But since we see nothing, bland.
Bare in mind this is also entertainment so things like this are more important and it has an entire department dedicated to it called 'production design'.
one thing they didn't mention about consuming charcoal is that it can absorb medications in your system. i think the idea behind the activated charcoal trend is that it absorbs "toxins", which i guess is technically true because it's used to treat poisonings. but if you're on birth control, anti-depressants, blood pressure medications, or other orally-administered meds, then activated charcoal food/drink can actually impact the dosage and effectiveness of your meds, be careful!
That's what grapefruits do as well.
@@johnjacob688 so true. grapefruit can mess with sooo many medications and i feel like hardly anyone knows about it! it can even be *dangerous* with some antipsychotics.
Not only toxins, the activated charcoal actually absorbs everything it meets. That’s why they only used it to treat poisoning cases. If you use it daily, there’d higher risk for you to be malnutrition
Your liver cleans your system. Cleanses and charcoal are silly and can be harmful. Unless you have liver disease or your liver is compromised, you don’t need to “cleanse” your body.

I love that you brought up the one about milk. People used to tell me (especially my parents) that I have to drink because of vitamin D and Calcium. Milk isn’t even natural for us to drink. So it makes sense that foods that are natural for us would have more and better nutrients.
I don’t like milk, never have, except in cereal and maybe a little with cookies or a peanut butter sandwich. Now I can’t drink it at all due to Crohn’s Disease.
I drink milk because I like it!
@@marleneclough3173 do you? Or did you have no choice but to drink either milk or water as a young kid and since milk actually has a taste, you would choose milk. So you were tricked into thinking that you like it because it’s what you chose.
@@PaintedDog I drink milk because broccoli tastes bad. Also it takes lot less time to drink than to eat (that doesn’t mean I don’t eat).
@@notmiten I love broccoli. True it does take less time to drink, unless you have to drink, then all of a sudden it’s the hardest thing to do.
Milk has the highest amount of the vitamin that a normal person can get in a day. A food scientist (Ann Reardon) discussed this.
If you can personally eat a DINNER SAUCER full of beans (which can be bad cooked improperly) or a dinner saucer stacked about a foot high of Kale-or a dinner saucer full of broccoli a day-then yes. Forgo the milk.
To become a dietitian (at least in the US🤞🏻):
- Bachelors degree in Nutrition
-Masters degree (requirement in 2024)
-Supervised dietetic internship hours (+1200 hours) in hospitals, outpatients etc.
-Board Exam to FINALLY obtain that credential/licensure
To become a Nutritionist:
-Take an online course and be certified
So yeah dietitians and nutritionists are NOT the same 🤞🏻
I heard that medical doctors only do six weeks of nutrition in their six years of initial study.
@@silvervalleystudios2486 not sure about the exact amount but yes, medical doctors have little knowledge of diet and how diet affects various health conditions. might be different if that person is specified in a 1 thing but then obviously the knowledge is around 1 thing.
THIS! ✊
Dietitians can choose to call themselves registered dietitians (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN). People do not know what a dietitian is so this extra title was added to increase awareness. It's controversial but it's optional to choose your title.
It’s like you’re taking a course to be a cosmetic surgeon
as a horticulturist, the beans myth comes from the fact that most UNCOOKED legumes will make you sick, due to high nitrogen/nitrate content.
Or are downright poisonus like kidney beans.
@@tatiana4050 they're only poisonous if ur cooking them wrong or are allergic
lots of ppl soak/cook beans incorrectly though bc we tend to do it however we were taught
Kidney beans are also dangerous cooked if you do them in a slow cooker. They need to be boiled for a bit to remove the toxicity.

When did fruit get in the "bad food" category, I'm really missing out on this.
Probably because it has sugar. Never mind the fact that it has a lot of vitamins and minerals, fiber (which helps prevent the sugar in fruit from spiking your blood sugar). People just like to demonize any and all sugars.
@@Emily-hd9sm while eating a lot of carbs...
And thanks for the reply! ^^
People who do the Keto diet dont eat fruit because of the sugar. The Keto diet is moronic as a whole.
@@claudial3875 There is some science behind it, but people are acting as if you eating a stick of sugar for a meal is healthier than eating a piece of fruit and that's just worrying
No, only thing you're missing is stupidity. Carry on
Thank you for setting the register straight about the effects of alcohol on the body. That myth seems to linger the longest amongst friends and family. Which tells me more about their psychology then anything else...

Superfoods are not a thing, thank you.

I am mind blown. I’m lactose intolerant and have stayed away many times from cheeses/dairy products bc I thought they all contained lactose. I actually recently got into cheddar so I’m glad to know it has no lactose.
Hi science insider. It's proper to use Dietitian instead of Nutritionist. Everybody can claim to become a Nutritionist but a dietitian is a licensed professional.
R u single?
@@richlizard709 wtf
Thank you!
Really depends the state you live in. You can’t claim nutritionist without a nutrition degree in most states.
They are Dietitians lol idk why they put nutritionist in the title !
Why do people demonize carbs. They are good for you you need them. Healthy carbs and a good balance of refined carbs. Y’all weird haha. Who said carbs are bad.
It’s probably the rise and proven effect of a withheld LowCarbHighFat diet. They’re not bad unless you’re cutting.
The numerous diabetic and overweight people that have blood sugar issues because they are eating too many carbs. If you have high blood sugar reducing your carb intake is a real easy way to help that. it's definitely true that not all carbs are bad and there are many regions with relatively high carb diets that are very healthy. Where you have lots of obesity and diabetes is often places with tons of added sugar in the food and most people are so used to the added sugar they don't even notice it. It's also worth acknowledging lifestyle with carb intake. Even though italy is one of the healthiest places and they eat pasta and bread all the time, no matter who you are if you eat a bunch of pasta but aren't physically active at all, you're going to gain weight eventually, conversely marathon runners can eat a mountain of pasta and be fine. It's all about eating a reasonable amount of complex carbs in proportion to your activity level.
instead of (refined) carbs, choose whole wheat products. whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, rice with fibres etc :)
@@aprilmason1616 most foods are fine in moderation. If you want to eat whole wheat pasta , then do that u less you have an allergy to wheat. But regular pasta and breads are fine every now end then. Not going to kill anyone.
@@Wuffskers eating meat and things that derive from animals like milk and butter and their body parts actually causes diabetes and high blood pressure
You forgot to mention the need for broad spectrum sunscreen if/when you're going out in the sun for your Vit D. Also note that sunscreen does not appear to inhibit Vit D absorption.
Ok in case you guys don't know. The case for the beans being toxic. I believe its referring to phytohaemagglutinins or the lectins. Basically if they're undercooking or raw some beans contain that which can cause some GI disruptness. However, that's just with properly processing it and cooking it correctly which is easy and any beans you buy precooked at the store is already done for you and your good.
To everyone confused about the title - in the US, there are two terms that are used interchangeably: RD (registered dietician) and RDN (registered dietitian nutritionist). They both are used for the same credential, and a dietitian can choose to say they are an RD or RDN. The academy of nutrition and dietetics, which does the certification, has been pushing for the newer term RDN to be used instead of RD, because people were getting confused about the difference between a dietician and a nutritionist (looks like it's still confusing tho lol)
- from a nutritional science major with a specialization in dietetics :)

Thank you for this video. I knew most of this, but am happy to have what I know confirmed.

i think the most urgent nutrition thing for nearly everyone is just eating more fruits and vegetables (that aren't laden grease, sugar, salt, so not chips or apple pie
Blanched vegetables at least
Definitely salt your veggies, though. Steamed veggies with a little salt on top is heaven. Don't forget to season any food that you eat. But herbs and spices work well also
@@lapillus2344 yes using herbs and spices can help in reducing salt intake. unfortunately most of our salt comes from the factory :(
Adding fats to your vegetables don't take away the nutrients in them. And you do need fats. And carbs. And proteins.
@@aprilmason1616 At the end of the day, while some sources of sodium chloride may be slightly better than others, as long as you're getting enough minerals from your diet, table salt isn't any better or worse than sea salt or Himalayan salt. Cutting down on processed foods is the key, not changing the form of salt. But many people forget that we also need a bit of salt as well, so if you're eating primarily whole foods, adding small sources of salt can be helpful for your diet, and it can make it a lot more flavorful as well. Food that is under salted is impalatble.
They need to start a podcast together. I love their voices and I need to know more about how to eat right!

Yeah, I started to study to be a Registered Dietitian, but it was going to require a Master's Degree & 1 year of unpaid internship, and I was bored with all the details you have to learn. So yeah, I have respect for Registered Dietitians now. They go thru as much as a lot of nurses.
you can be an RN with a bachelor's degree so i would even say dietitians go through more honestly!
More than nurses...
RNs have a 2 year associates degree.
@@ErinDynamite it’s two years of pre nursing then a program typically. Essentially a bachelors.
@@MrHandsomeboynow 🙄 I actually work in healthcare. ASN is an RN associates degree. BSN is extra.

@@useyournoodle100 red wine is basically grape juice. And a little is good for you in moderation. This is coming from my doctor. It’s the alcohol that’s detrimental. Too much of anything and u can die from it. Plus it tastes good.

I’ve had issues with Lactose since I was a child but I found out years ago that hard cheese was easier on my GI track and I was thrilled :) I also eat whole milk yogurt everyday and it doesn’t bother me like other dairy products.

For beans it's lectins, phytic acid and other anti-nutrients people refer to as toxic
"Beans are toxic"
The entire South American continent: [SCREAMS]
ALL of Latin America*
MOST beans ARE toxic.
Not all beans, but most are. The toxic beans don't all contain the same amount of toxin, but even the beans with minuscule amounts of toxin still qualify as being toxic.
The misinformation in this video and the comments scare me.
The most toxic beans are red kidney beans. I grow red kidney beans and I know that if they are eaten raw, they will result in food poisoning.
Most beans need to be prepared by soaking and cooking at a high temperature to break down the toxins. If people don't know this, they can cause some serious harm.
Also Asia. Soybeans, chickpeas, miso, mung beans, mung bean noodles, bean paste cakes/bun etc. The list goes on forever.

Animals flesh is fortified with B12 as are many animal substitutes. As you get older, you may lose the ability to metabolize B12 efficiently, so it's always a good idea to take a B12 supplement.
B12 is naturally found in all animal products and by products. And adults can process B12 just fine. As long as you are getting 3 servings of dairy and 5 servings of protein a day, you should be getting enough B12 and do not require any supplements.
@@emilybeaty27 That's not true for everyone. I get plenty of protein and dairy in my diet, and even with supplements my B12 level is low. I have to have it injected.
I don't know were you're getting your information from, but it is all wrong from line one.
B12 comes from bacteria. The reason it can be found in animal flesh is because farmers in the animal agriculture industry fortify them with it, along with many other drugs.
As many people grow older, it is not uncommon for their ability to absorb B12. This is why B12 supplements are so readily available.
Cow breast milk is made for baby cows. It is specifically designed to turn a 30lbs calf into a 300lbs cow. It was not nor has ever been made for you. To say that it is, is a racist statement. 65-70% of the worlds population are lactose intolerant. There are also studies being conducted linking the consumption of nonhuman milk with type 1 diabetes.
@@Sirius314 Haha I get my information my from bachelors degree in Nutrition. B12 is actually naturally found in animals. I personally believe animals were placed on this earth for us to use, and therefore that cows milk (and other animal's milk) is here for us to drink. However, that part is a personal and religious belief of mine. However I do know that without supplements or animal products, humans would not be able to get all the vitamins and minerals needed to sustain nutrition.
65% of the world's population is lactose intolerant, true, but nearly 100% of Asians are lactose intolerant (because it's genetic) and so that really skews the numbers since a large portion of the world's population is Asian. Only about 15% of caucasians are lactose intolerant - a much smaller number.
Type I diabetes is linked to over consumption of saturated and trans fats, and cow's milk contains saturated fat, that is true. However, cow's milk is not nearly the leading cause of over consumption of saturated and trans fats and is probably not even in the top 10. Red and processed meats is the leading cause and second would be hydrogenated oils (such as deep fried products) and third would be high fat diary products such as ice cream and cheese.
I do agree that most adults should take B12 supplements, though. B vitamins cannot be stored in the body but are a vital ingredient to serotonin. With the ever growing genetic depression and anxiety, I think everyone could use a little more serotonin. And because it cannot be stored, it cannot be over dosed. So even with a diet high in animal products (not recommended), a B12 supplement wouldn't hurt.
@@Sirius314 the B12 fortification of meat sounds very suspicious. If they could do that why wouldn't they do it for non-meat foods. You are probably wrong, they don't fortify meat with B12, it comes with it.
Not a dietitian but that red wine theory never made sense to me alcohol is literally poisonous
That's true, tho I have heard of a study concluding that the French suffer a bit less from heart attacks and was linked to their often (cultural) daily small intake of wine. I don't know if this hold true, but my guess is that part of the myth originates out of that direction
@@Zenheizer there was also a really old person that said her secret was smoking and drinking everyday 😂😂😂 it really depends on your diet
@@alexandrab5904 maybe she meant "secret to a fast escape into the heavens"
It’s more complex than described. Especially when it comes to getting any particular vitamin from meat vs plants. The absorption process is where the huge difference is.
I'm lactose intolerant and I can eat cheese without any problem and even rice pudding. Drinking milk or something with too much milk in it it's another story. Like chocolate milkshakes or ice cream, that hurts.
That is because cheese does not have a lot of lactose left in it. You can also give Joghurt a try, the bacteria in there actually makes it more digestible for those with lactose intolerance. And give lactose-free milk and other dairy (normal milk etc just went trough an extra step to split lactose). Or i think you can buy lactase tablets to help. Good luck
@@JustMe-12345 Thanks. I'm already doing that, but it's shocking that I never had any intolerances and when I hit 18, it was drinking my Colacao like every morning before going to highschool and pain was unleashed. It sucks.
@@shironeko1843this also happend with me , till i was 19 i could drink milk with no problem but now milk is a big no no for me but yeah i can eat cheese...
That's all due to Rennin my friends, adults lacks it.
Parmesan cheese, yoghurt are low in lactose content, so it's okay to eat it when you are lactose intolerant. People, especially vegan militants, tell me to have milk alternatives like almond, soy instead of lactose free milk and I hate those. Smoothies and coffe tastes great and much healthier than milk alternatives.
Love how these dieticians weren't moralising food as a lot of dieticians (yes fully trained dieticians) still fall into diet culture beliefs and perpetuate these onto clients in the name of professionalism
The one on the left was being judgy towards imaginary vegans though.
About gluten, I though it was a gimmick too, every scientific sources I trusted told me so. But one day, after four years of digestive problems, a met gastroenterology specialist who gave me a prescription test for the coeliac disease. It turned negative, but I tried a day without gluten anyway, and my stomach was at ease for the first in years. No acid reflux which would keep me unable to lay down at night (unless I make myself vomit, that is), no never ending major burps and farts, no uneasiness in the stomach all day long. The sad part is, it never occurred to me to even try one day without gluten, because everyone always says it's a gimmick. Vanessa did say "if it bothers you, cut it out", but it would be more useful to say something like "if you have stomach problems, try no gluten for a few days to see if that's the problem, but if you don't have problem, just live your best live and eat gluten".
The breakfast thing made me feel ill for years. My mum always said it and forced me to have breakfast before school and I would literally feel sick every day until lunch time. Sometimes I can eat it, but now, if I’m not hungry, I don’t eat it because my body doesn’t want it and it’s just going to make me feel uncomfortable
I really like how the other dietitian drank water when talking about water
I thought she was going to present something
Have I been living under a rock? Out of all these "myths", I've only heard of 4 of them... I guess that's the benefit of not caring about dietary trends.

@@MichaelGGarry I mean, it can. If parents aren't feeding their kids properly and teaching them bad eating habits then they could continue those trends as adults.
@Hunter Golber depends on height, weight, gender, muscle mass, activity. Tbh people severally overestimate the amount of cals needed. Shorter girls may only need 1200 cals to maintain normal weight. If you aren't active 800 cals may be necessary to lose weight.

Skipping meals, or fasting, is actually shown to make your body healthier. Check out Harvard scientist David Sinclair’s online videos and book, Lifespan. Lots of interesting information and proven results. Not all dieticians keep up to dated with the latest science.

I wish they had their own channel.
Great!
I've been eating once a day for over a year. Took me a few days to get used to it but now I don't even get hungry.
My doctor is super happy with my weight loss and my vitals.
I no longer crash in the afternoon after eating lunch. Eating breakfast is not necessary at all.
I do it too cause I got reflux and other issues that go away when I don't shove food in my face 3 times a day just cause my stomach hurts a bit or growls
ESPECIALLY THE END... "Like, ask professionals, not the internet." 🙌🙌🙌 You ladies know your stuff! Great advice all around. 🤗🤗🤗
Professions have medicines to sell
The thing with "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is most especially for those people who work laborious jobs like construction men, men who carry 100kgs sacks all day, and just people who generally need more energy from food than the typical office employee. I also believe that this was taught to us here in the province since children typically hike from their homes to school. That's why they need breakfast to sustain themselves or else they'll faint.
Breakfast became "the most important meal of the day" to sell bacon and cereal
You can sustain yourself from fat reserves and glycogen stores. You don’t need breakfast.
@@Cheesus-Sliced this. It was a marketing message.
As a working mom of three kids, I love my big breakfast.
Guess you don't understand that many need food to fuel them. Especially children.
I'm lactose intolerance, but my parents still tried to force me to drink milk cause it's "good for you". They are lactose intolerance too, so they just spend lotta hours in the bathroom in the morning.
The cheese thing is just NOT TRUE (aside from a very tiny portion). Listen to your body. If I eat cheese, I will hug the toilet or stink up the place.
I have questions:
1. Surely this advice about breakfast and the metabolism (3:30) contradicts the vast amount of health professionals recommending intermittent fasting?
2. Aren't health professionals these days leaning more towards emphasising taking Vitamin D supplements or foods fortified in Vitamin D, rather than getting it from the sun - especially due to the rising number of skin cancer cases?
I found the debunking of potassium in Bananas, and alcohol being 'good' for you really interesting!
Intermittent fasting is moroníc.
There are a number of generic family practitioners online recommending fasting based on a very limited number of research studies undertaken in mice. Nothing has been proved in human beings and there are some contradictory studies. But hey, when there is a chance to make a buck by selling your book, clinic, program ... And people willing to go that route .... Then these type of unproven theories will consistently be bandied around. By the way, what we do know about IF is that it works to lose weight in some cases because it limits the amount of time you have to eat, and therefore lowers your calorie intake. Nothing magical - just plan calories in.
@@alexandrasmith7682 Ah thank you for the info =))
I'm only half way through this video and already love both of these ladies and the information they are sharing.
"you can't eat cheese if you're lactose intolerant"
Laughs as I continue to eat all the ice cream, and Boba milk tea, and yoghurt, and grilled cheese, and cheese burgers, and gelato, etc., despite being mild-to-moderately lactose intolerant
Same 😌
You can you'll just get sick depending on their levels of lactose. Also, it gets worse as you age so enjoy it while you can.
Same I can eat cheese and ice cream just not milk
Ya know the Boba place I go to used lactose free milk bc so many Asian ppl are intolerant, it might be pretty easy to find a place that has lactose free milk on the menu
People confuse allergies and intolerances.
This just tells me the average person has no idea how food works
Fun fact: animal products have B12 because the animals are given B12 supplements.
Ah, my mom went crazy for ice. Turns out she had an iron deficiency.
But then isn't it true that you're deficient in a nutrient?? You're body is desperately trying to find it in a taste it can approximate so it goes munching everywhere. Seems empiracle to me.
Why ice though, I think people were going for dirt and clay because they have a slight iron content, ice would just be water
Damn. My two year old loves ice. She eats it like junk food. I should probably ask her doctor to check her iron.
Beans and lentils👌🏻
Same with my mom. She doesn't eat ice anymore luckily.
It make sense to crave sand. The craving g is really intense after rainfall when you live in an area with red soils. You literally smell the iron. The smell is nice even when you not anaemic but I have eaten some red clay, tastes good this was before I knew the connection to anaemia.
Are you ok
People used to cook in unglazed clay pots. The minerals from the clay would be absorbed into the cooked food making it more iron and nutrient rich. Craving clay makes sense in a weird way
Same reason mountain goats lick salt on the side of cliffs
Yeah pica makes sense. Dirt can have iron. Even I want to taste dirt after it rains.
@@magicsquid3020 lmao same I was literally screaming when I read this comment 💀💀💀
12:18 I love how she mentions that milk needs vitamin d added to milk. But doesn’t mention that meat, the animals need to be supplemented with b12 since animals can’t get it naturally either. In factory farms
Exactly and just beacuse you eat flesh, doesn't guarantee you're not B12 deficient.
This was really good. Thank you ladies!
