Have you ever noticed that scientists will tell you that a certain food is bad for you only to change their minds in a couple of years?

Here are eight common food myths that some scientists have debunked.

1. Myth: Low-fat foods are good.
2. Myth: Saturated fat is bad.
3. Myth: Eggs are bad.
4. Myth: Eat more carbohydrates than protein and fat.
5. Myth: Eat lots of small meals throughout the day.
6. Myth: All vegetable oils are good for you.
7. Myth: Too much meat and cheese is bad for the bones and kidneys.
8. Myth: Whole grain breads are good for everybody.
