You’ve been lied to about “healthy food.”

The stuff they told you to eat is wrecking your metabolism.

And the foods they told you to fear?
They’re actually healing.

Here are 7 nutrition myths keeping you fat, tired, and inflamed: 🧵

1. Myth: Eggs raise cholesterol Truth: Eggs have little to no effect on blood cholesterol for most people.

Egg yolks are nutrient powerhouses:
→ B12 (for energy)
→ Choline (for brain & liver)
→ Vitamin D (for hormones & immunity)

Eat eggs. Ditch the processed cereals.

Here’s how it works (and why it’s a threat to $500B drug empires):
