Can you give me an example of foodlore, food fads and food fallacies?

Question

In advance thanks!

Answer 1

Food fallacies:
meat causes high blood pressure
oysters should only be eaten in "R" months
skim milk has no nutritional value

Food fads, there are so many and most diet crazes also fall into this category:
cabbage soup diet
atkins diet
grapefruit diet
sugar busters
food combining
raw foods
They are fads because no one can make a permanent lifestyle from them; they are too restrictive.
