Such is the case with coconut oilwhich has become a favorite product of healthy eaters. But is it really more useful? Not at all, says the latest Harvard University study.

Their research also shows that bio- and organic products do not have better nutritional qualities than conventional ones. It is also a myth that organic farming is harmless to the environment.
Juicing diets, which have also become much more popular in recent years, are also proving to be a real bomb for your health.
If you regularly try to lose weight by drinking juices, you increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.
