1. High-fructose corn syrup is made from corn, and it gets a bad rap. But your body processes it almost the same way it does as usual sugar, which is made from cane or beets. It contains high amounts of sugar, and its consumption can lead to gain weight and to health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes and heart diseases.

2. Obesity, inactivity, and a poor diet can increase your cholesterol. Your real enemies are unhealthy trans fats and saturated fats which can be found in meats, dairy and processed food. If you choose even low-fat dairy food and lean meat, you should read labels to know quantities of fat and carbohydrates that are in these products. If you are prone to gaining weight, you should ask your doctor about your balanced diet.

3. In 1998 one of the studies claimed that an autism spectrum disorder was caused by the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine. It was based on faulty conclusions. Meanwhile, several other more recent studies show that this vaccine has no connection with autism, and it is able to lessen kids’ risks of getting dangerous health conditions like whooping cough and polio.

4. Some experts no longer think that gluten causes rashes, stomachaches or gaining weight of people. Cookies and white bread are rich in gluten. Moreover, they are full of healthy nutrients.
