10. Bananas are too sugary to be a healthy food.
One of the laughable food myths is that bananas, despite being a fruit is unhealthy because of its sweet taste. Banana is just like any other fruit like oranges or apples and you do not need to run away from it, as you will be losing many vitamins due to ignorance.
11. Eating too quickly is nothing.
A fast eater tends to consume more than the required amount of food. A fast eater may not quickly know that he is already filled up until it is too late. It is better to eat slowly and enjoyably rather than stuffing food rapidly in the mouth as if there is a food race competition.

12. Carbs are evil.
One of the food myths believed by some is that carbohydrates are evil, as they are believed to be the main culprit in the gaining of excess calorie and weight in the body. The good carbohydrates can make you feel full very fast. In fact many fruits like apples, bananas have sugar in them and these are carbohydrates as well. Refined and processed carbohydrates are the ones that can make people gain weight. Also, note that, having about 40% carbs in a diet is good, as carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body.
13. Legumes and grains should be eaten at the same time to get complete protein.
It is being said and believed by some that grains and legumes should be mixed together to get a complete protein. However, contrary to this view of mixing carbohydrate and protein compulsorily, the truth is that, eating foods rich in amino acids in the course of the day is enough to give the needed protein nutrients.
