This is a great article dispelling 20 popular food myths. Ones I didn’t know:

#2: Boiling drains away all nutrients from vegetables – It’s true that you lose some minerals but not all!

#13 You can’t deep fry in olive oil – I always avoided this because of the whole lower smoking point argument (which is true) but it turns out it is possible and is supposed to taste better! I love olive oil so I’ll have to try this next time.

#18 Salads and sandwiches containing mayonnaise aren’t safe for picnics – I’ve always been afraid of having anything with mayo out for awhile and eating it. Yes, I’m paranoid about getting food poisoning hehe
