Check out this food myth that was listed on MSN.com.

Bananas are fattening. What? The fact that this became a myth in the first place is hard to believe.  Bananas are healthy, full of nutrients, and low in calories.  Even if you didn’t know those facts, I bet you’ve never seen an obese person who eats too much fruit every day.  Bananas are not detrimental to a healthy diet plan. Have you heard this myth before?  How about other food myths that might have steered you in the wrong direction?
