Myth Busting Monday
Every Monday, one popular nutrition myth — held up to actual evidence. No fear-mongering, no wellness marketing, just what the science actually says.
Week 1 · July 6, 2026
The Alkaline Diet Myth
Lemon water, $12 alkaline bottles, pH test strips — none of it changes your blood pH. Here's what your body is actually doing.
Week 2 · July 13, 2026
The Soy Myth
Soy doesn't cause breast cancer, lower testosterone, or grow 'man boobs.' Here's why this bean got a bad reputation.
Week 3 · July 20, 2026
The Diet Soda Myth
Diet soda doesn't rot your gut, spike your insulin, or poison your brain. The fear far outsizes the evidence — here's what's actually true.
Week 4 · July 27, 2026
Carbs After 7 PM Make You Gain Weight
Your metabolism doesn't clock out at dinner. Total intake matters far more than the hour on the clock.

You Need 8 Glasses of Water a Day
The famous 8x8 rule has no real research behind it. Here's how much fluid you actually need.
Week 6 · August 10, 2026
Organic Food Is Automatically Healthier
Organic is about how food is grown — not how nutritious it is. Conventional produce is still great for you.
Week 7 · August 17, 2026
The Detox Myth
Juice cleanses, detox teas, and 3-day reset kits can't 'cleanse' anything. Your liver and kidneys already do that — for free.
Week 8 · August 24, 2026
The Breakfast Myth
Breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day for everyone. Skipping it won't wreck your metabolism — but timing still matters for some.
Week 9 · August 31, 2026
The Gluten Myth
Gluten isn't inherently harmful. For most people, it's a safe, affordable protein — but for those with celiac disease, it's a real medical issue.
Week 10 · September 7, 2026
The Natural Sugar Myth
Honey, maple syrup, and agave aren't meaningfully healthier than table sugar. Your body processes them almost identically.
Week 11 · September 14, 2026
The Frequent Meals Myth
Eating every 2–3 hours doesn't 'stoke your metabolism.' Meal frequency has almost no effect on metabolic rate — total intake does.
Week 12 · September 21, 2026
The Apple Cider Vinegar Myth
ACV shots won't melt fat, 'detox' your body, or fix blood sugar. The evidence is thin, the marketing is thick — here's what's real.
More myths coming every Monday. Got one you'd like busted? Send it my way.
