Features: From Germany, the most authoritative dietary guide, telling you the correct dietary concepts: Does beer's calories make you fat? Does salt cause high blood pressure? Is juice the ideal drink for all ages? Are grilled foods harmful to health? Does vitamin C help with cold recovery? Salt is unhealthy, fruits and vegetables prevent cancer—these are three concepts about dietary nutrition. But don't assume that everything commonly known is right, because in fact, all three of the above belong to the category of misconceptions. Nutritional expert Udo Pollmer and biologist Susanna Walmsley have presented critical perspectives on our habitual dietary habits. They have examined the impact of various promotional campaigns by the food industry and nutritional authorities on the public, reviewed the objective scientific rigor of their content, and meticulously analyzed a large number of other misconceptions.
