Should we avoid eating fruit? Are eggs bad for our health? Are frozen foods less nutritious? Citizens' doubts about food change over the years, but some remain.
To put an end to false beliefs, the role of professionals and public institutions is key, which is why the Ministry of Health has shared a link on Twitter where they debunk some of the most common food myths.

Fruit should be eaten outside of meals.
The calories and vitamins provided by fruit are ALWAYS the same, regardless of whether they are eaten alone or accompanied by other foods. It is always a good time to eat a portion of fruit.
The advantage of taking them between meals is that we do not eat other types of foods with a higher caloric content, such as sweets, snacks, etc. and we also arrive at the next meal with less feeling of hunger and we also get vitamins and minerals, so necessary for our health.
It is better to drink water outside of meals than during meals.
It is advisable to drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water throughout the day, and you can drink it during or between meals.
The thirst that appears during meals must be quenched , both for our proper hydration and to help us better perceive the flavors of the foods we eat.
Water DOES NOT HAVE ANY CALORIES , that is, it does not make you fat, although it is considered satiating because it provides a feeling of fullness.
Eggs are bad for cholesterol
We should not classify foods as good or bad, but rather know the characteristics of each one.
The egg has been treated unfairly, since it is a very complete and healthy food .
It is true that the yolk is rich in cholesterol, but we must not forget that the egg also contains proteins, vitamins and minerals. Its consumption is suitable for all ages.
Therefore, it is very important to have a varied diet and increase physical activity.
Dietary and vitamin supplements should be taken to improve health
It is not necessary, except in very specific cases (e.g. pregnancy or certain pathologies, a diet poor in vitamins and minerals, etc.), to take any type of supplement if you eat a healthy, varied and balanced diet.
Taking supplements should never replace a balanced and varied diet .
One of the many positive consequences of a varied diet is that different nutrients interact with each other, producing benefits when consumed together that do not occur when taken in supplements.
If I do physical activity/exercise, I can eat and drink whatever I want.
Physical activity is essential for health. There are many, many reasons to lead an active life.
However, an unhealthy diet will have consequences on our health that are difficult to compensate for by physical exercise . For example, the advantages you get between eating a piece of fruit or eating industrial pastries are not only the great caloric difference between one and the other, but also that fruit provides us with vitamins, fiber... compared to the high content of unhealthy fats and refined sugars in pastries.
Vegetable fats are healthier than animal fats
In general terms, we can say that vegetable fats have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for our cardiovascular health, and animal fats have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids, which should be consumed in smaller proportions.
However, there are exceptions, since there are saturated fats such as coconut, palm and palm kernel fats, which are of vegetable origin. It should also be noted that animal fats are usually accompanied by fat-soluble vitamins, which are important for the proper functioning of our body.
As for the caloric content, it is the same 9 kcal/g, regardless of whether its origin is animal or vegetable.
Bread is an unhealthy food
All foods provide us with energy in the form of calories to a greater or lesser extent.
Bread is among the foods with a medium caloric content (261 kcal/100 g). It is mainly made up of complex carbohydrates and is low in fat.
Bread is the basis of our Mediterranean diet and is recommended as an accompaniment to lunch and dinner and as a healthy part of our breakfasts and snacks. Keep an eye on the portion size (1 portion = 2 slices = 40 g = 104 kcal) and what foods you accompany it with (fatty sauces, sausages, etc.).
Frozen foods are less nutritious than fresh foods.
The freezing process does not alter the qualities of food , so frozen fish or meat have the same properties as if we eat them fresh.
Regarding frozen vegetables, the proportion of vitamins they have after cooking is similar to that of fresh vegetables after being cooked.
Therefore, there is no reason not to buy frozen foods, as this can be a good way to always have healthy foods on hand.
