Nutrition and Beauty Myths

10 Common Nutrition And Beauty Myths -- Busted http://huff.to/puRZ2b

One of the myths that was brought up is "Is it better to eat non-organic than no fruit at all?".

Here's a great guide to find out what to buy organic – and why - with EWG’s 2011 Shopper\’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce. We rank 53 popular fruits and vegetables based on their total pesticide loads.

Another myth, Is it really bad to skip breakfast in the morning? The answer was yes. I agree and disagree with this. If you're hungry, then yes eat. If your not it won't hurt to wait an hour or two to eat your first meal of the day. Your best bet is to start your morning with a "Green Drink". It is the best thing you can do for your body and mind.
