Modern food mythology

Several food experts share their favorite misconceptions about what and how we eat.

One big myth is that fruit juice is a healthy part of our diet. Wrong. Drinking a glass of fruit juice a day โ€” which is the equivalent of one soft drink of 110 to 180 calories โ€” has been linked in the U.S., Australia and Spain to increased calorie intake and higher risks of diabetes and heart disease.

Also: kosher != quality.
