We are used to the fact that food is divided into harmful and healthy: the first is strictly not recommended to eat, and the second should always be kept in your refrigerator.
But is it right that any foods are completely excluded from the diet? After all, there are those that are very useful, despite the fact that they are called harmful.
As you know, everything is good in moderation, if you eat a lot, even though there are a lot of vitamins in some food, it is likely to harm you. It is necessary not to exclude any foods, but to eat them competently.
From this collection you will learn about products that are mistakenly listed as harmful.

Also included is linoleic acid (a healthy fat related to omega-6), which helps bring blood pressure back to normal. White chocolate is a source of the hormone of joy - endorphin.
