The Consistency Project
on 10 Common Nutrition Myths: Produce, Potatoes, Plant Protein, & More
Aug 14, 2024
This week, nutrition myths get a reality check. Fresh produce isn't always better than canned or frozen options—nutritional value often reigns supreme. The episode tackles the misconception that all fats are bad and demystifies calories in versus calories out for weight management. Plant milk doesn't always outshine dairy milk in nutrition, and white potatoes have valuable health benefits too! Early exposure to peanuts and the completeness of plant proteins are also discussed, urging listeners to rethink their dietary beliefs.

Deep dives
Fresh vs. Processed Produce
The belief that fresh fruit and vegetables are always healthier than canned, frozen, or dried varieties is a common misconception. In reality, canned and frozen options can provide comparable or even superior nutritional value since they are often harvested at their peak freshness and preserved quickly. Factors like transit time and storage conditions can lead to nutrient degradation in fresh produce, making their canned or frozen counterparts just as nutritious or, in some cases, better. It is important to look at the overall quality of fruits and vegetables consumed rather than focusing solely on their form, as they all play a role in a healthy diet.
