Do you ever check into the validity of nutrition factoids when you hear them? things like this: avoid eggs -- drink 8 glasses of water a day -- eating carbs will make you fat.

Is this stuff accurate. Well, there are a few general overall health rules that are right to be applied to everyone, but when does that line stop and where do other start?

It's always good to do your own research when reading a new "fact" about nutrition and its affect on health -- as you never know what agenda may be at work behind the message (trust me, there are plenty of them). Want a few examples? See this.

Of course, eating everything in moderation is the key. As always, what do you expect?

Problem is, certain food contains concentrated volume of "not-so-good" stuff and is favorites of many people, hence most of the awareness.

And how much water can you actually have before having hyponatremia? A lot. Up to the point you feel you cant drink anymore.
