Answer true or false for questions 1-10 and I will award ten points to the one who gets the most correct and give the explanation for the answers!

1. True or false: Milk is a great source of calcium.
2. True or false: Most kinds of dark chocolate contain anti-oxidants and are actually healthy in small doses.
3. True or false: High fructose corn syrup is almost exactly like sugar.
4. True or false: Diet soda is a healthy way to avoid lots of sugar and calories.

9. True or false: Hot dogs are only bad for you if they aren’t 100% beef.
10. True or false: Too much fruit in your diet will cause weight gain due to the sugar.
I will post the correct answers in 30 minutes.
All the answers are false.
1 F Milk inhibits absorption of calcium and can actually create a calcium deficiency.
2. F Most chocolate is processed with alkali, which kills the antioxidants.
3. F High fructose corn syrup affects horomones telling you how full you are.
4. F Sugar subs actually cause us to crave real sugar even more.
5. F Organic produce is not subsidized by the US federal government the way non-organic foods are, so it’s usually less profitable to grow organic.
6. F Many foods rich in cholesterol, such as eggs,are extremely healthy for you. High cholesterol is also not necessarily a sign of poor health.
7. F Old news. Google it.
8. F There are very few good supplements for a healthy diet that don’t cause other nutritional deficiencies, and they are very expensive.
9. F Most lunch meats contain carcinogens from processing, which are directly linked to several kinds of cancer.
10. F fruits are generally very low on the glycemic index. Eat up.
The winner with the most false answers was chepamer.
