    I'd add some health myths as well, since these are all pseudo medicine and woo.

    01. Oil Pulling
    02. Homeopathy
    03. Chiropractic
    05. Feng Shui
    06. Naturopathy
    07. Pretty much all "Eastern Medicine"
    08. Acupuncture
    09. Chelation "Therapy"
    10. The Pro-Disease, anti-vaccination crowd of celebs like Jenny McCarthy

    All of that is crap and in some cases dangerous.

    1) To lose weight you must eat three square meals a day - I'm screwed then, my plates are round.

    2) Eating after 8pm will cause you to gain weight (I try not to because I have a hiatus hernia and can't lie down for hours after eating and that is the ONLY reason I try to avoid eating late).

    3) You MUST eat breakfast - you CAN'T possibly avoid breakfast, the first thing you eat in the day has broken the fast ergo you have had a breakfast.

    4) Aspartame is poisonous - boll*ck is it, if it was, do you seriously think it would be allowed into our food chain!?!

    5) Eating clean - have you seen my food dairy and have you seen my ticker, I'm losing weight and body fat but I love McDonald's and I work in a curry house and get free food.

    I could go on, but I simply can't be bothered now.....

    Partially agree, although I think chiropractors can be really bad or really good. Depends on the person you see, since I had a chiropractor who I realized was basically a scam artist, but now I have a chiropractor who actually figured out the reason for my migraines which countless specialists and head scans couldn't figure out. He's taught me ways of keeping my joints aligned myself so my chronic pain is better.

    Another health myth I'd nuke from orbit just to be sure: BPA makes children fat and everything else that's blamed on it. That whole fracas was a case of sensationalism and misunderstanding before the truth had a chance in "putting on its shoes."
    "Among white kids and teens, higher BPA levels were associated with more than twice the risk of obesity. With black and Hispanic youth, though, BPA levels didn't make a difference."

    "Also, there's no way in this study to know whether BPA is actually causing kids to put on weight, says Frederica Perera, who directs the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health. "Obese children may be simply eating and drinking foods that have higher BPA levels," she says."
    http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/09/18/161340024/link-between-bpa-and-childhood-obesity-is-unclear

    Another case of correlation vs. causation. The evidence just isn't clear at this point if in fact BPA is indeed the boogyman, but since humans are wired for selection bias, a study like this that shows the contrary will hardly get any traction.

    I kept all my BPA bottles and use them still when I am in the gym.

    1. "I did 3 turns on the treadmill this week and gained, it must be muscle";
    2. Foods to avoid for belly fat;
    3. "Kick starts" - these make me irrationally snarky.

    Regardless of good or bad, you're basically seeing a chiropractor for physical therapy. Fine if you want to see a chiropractor for that, however, I'd rather see a licensed physical therapist whose practice is based on science-based medicine. I'm aware that chiropractors have their own licensing requirements in many cases, but I trust that as much I would trust a licensed psychic for making financial or relationship decisions.

    When people with 100lbs to go tell the people who are lean as hell that they are eating the wrong stuff...

    I would just like to point out that being thin is not the same as being healthy. Assuming that someone who is overweight automatically knows less about nutrition than a thin person. As an overweight person who has over 100 pounds to lose, I hate when people think I have no right to an opinion because I'm fat. This happened to me once when a friend was talking to me about his workout habits, and I made a suggestion. My opinion, however, was considered invalid because I'm fat and therefore must be ignorant. I have spent a lot of time researching ways to eat and live healthier, I just don't always have the willpower to execute the plans I make. That is why I'm fat.

    However, I do agree that one person should not be telling another person how to eat. I just don't really think that weight should come into that equation.

    When people say that muscle weighs more than fat.

    NO, IT DOESN'T!!!! 1kg of muscle weighs EXACTLY THE SAME as 1kg of fat, it's the surface area that is the difference!!!! BAH!

    When people say that I feel like it's more an error in phrasing than an actual myth. The thought behind it is right, it's just worded in a nonsensical manner.

    A few of mine were already taken, this one was touched on but I'll go ahead anyway

    That HRMs are the most accurate way of estimating calories burned and that you NEED one. They are useful under certain circumstances, not all and they are not the only way.


    And the breakfast one. Anything with meal timing really.

    "Eat 6-8 small meals a day" and "Skipping breakfast makes you fat"

    No thanks. I'll stick to one meal a day. At 6 PM.

    In my opinion the only use of a HRM is to see your heart rate the caloric burns can be pretty retarded. I love seeing people post "I burned 1200 calories vacuuming the house" :huh:

    Lots of things were allowed into the food chain, then later banned. So I don't think that it's there guarantees it's A okay. However since I can't seem to resist the fizzy glug, and I don't want to take in huge amounts of sugar, I'm still taking in the nutrasweet. Heh, last year I got a lecture on the evils of diet soda, from a friend who was drinking a giant sugared "tea" in a can (75 g of sugar, I checked later) and smoking at the time. I think I'll stick with my occasional diet soda.
