There  are a lot of information and  facts that are useful to us and are available in this age of the internet. More so with the kind of information regarding better and improve health. Yet , on the  other hand, as good information abound so does misinformation and untruthful myths of half truths and considered as fallacious information. Some of these are the following:
- Foods with high fiber contents can prevent colon cancer – Although it is a fact that high fiber foods can thwart diabetes and can regulate cholesterol levels as well, it has nothing to do with preventing colon cancer.  Fiber does allow for a better passing of stool, normal mucus formation, and better overall colon health.
- A detox diet is very beneficial– Detox diet is having an extremely limited intake of foods known to have fats and cholesterol and consumes mostly on water or juice. This type of diet was claimed to eliminate the toxins inside our body through urine, feces, skin and breath. Nevertheless, doctors, scientists and dietitians never approved of this diet. In fact, this could only lead to more detrimental results and one of those is vitamin deficiencies.
- Foods with low-fat contents can decrease your weight and improve fecal elimination – Studies have shown that consuming fewer amounts of calories is the only way to impede your weight from increasing. Never be reliant on eating foods with no calories and low amount of fats since most of them contain unhealthy ingredients such as sugar which in turn makes it unhealthy for your colon.
- Fruits and vegetables in juice form are better than eating them in whole – The information that juicing fruits and vegetables can allow us to have better absorption of nutrients is indeed factual. It also does good to having better fecal elimination and over all colon health. Nonetheless, doing this can have a downside. Compared to eating fruits and vegetables, their juice forms have limited fiber contents. Therefore, it is recommended to limit juiced fruits and vegetables to only one to two servings.
