Is your nutritionist lying to you?

Chances are you've heard quite a few myths truth from your well-meaning MD or dietician about what's actually a healthy diet.

That's why this week I'm here to debunk the major nutritional myths out there that you may be hearing.

Plus, find out how you can save money while buying organic and the truth about lemon water.

Is it really that beneficial like we've all been told?

The five foods you need to buy organic or else buy organic.

You've heard me say this a thousand times to avoid those nasty health-harming herbicides like round up by buying organic when it's feasible for your budget.

In fact, I have an entire video dedicated to the evils of this poison and how to avoid it.

Titled, the number one worst ingredient hiding in your food.

But the good news is you can actually save quite a bit of money on your grocery bills knowing which items you absolutely need to buy organic in which you don't.

So let's talk about the ones you don't need to buy organic if you're trying to save some bucks.

The rule of thumb is if it has a shell or a peel that you're going to get rid of and you can throw it out, then you should be okay to buy non-organic.

For example, avocados. You should be okay because you're going to throw the peel away.

Walnuts and most nuts for that matter.

Melons, onions, yams, pomegranates, passion fruit.

All of these, you're usually going to get rid of the peel so that whatever might have been sprayed on them and certainly something could have been sprayed on them, you're going to toss it.

Now, with foods that have shells and peels, the less you have to worry about buying organic.

Now, one might argue that the nutrition in the organic version of these foods like an avocado or a walnut might be better.

But believe it or not, there are contradictory studies comparing organic versus non-organic produce.

And while some studies do show an increased content in polyphenols, and as you know, that's really important,

other studies have really failed to find a significant margin in these.
