Myth and Truth

Now that I am semi-back in the blogging world, I wanted to do something a little more interactive. I will list some nutritional statements and you tell me whether they are truth or myth. I'll post the answers later.

1. Saturated fat clogs arteries. (myth or truth)

2. Vitamin B12 can be obtained from certain plant sources such as blue-green algae and soy products.

3. Animal fats cause cancer and heart disease.

4. Low fat diets prevent breast cancer.

5. Vegetariansim is healthier than meat eating.

6. A vegetarian diet will protect you against atherosclerosis.

7. Children benefit from a low fat diet.

8. To avoid heart disease, we should use margarine instead of butter.

Tell me what you think.
