This false myth may have originated from the presence of <strong>bromelain<\/strong>, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of certain nutrients, including proteins, and has a positive effect on the lymphatic system by exerting a draining action.<\/p><p>The false myth of pineapple as a fat burner actually allows us to address another food-related misconception. Often, in an attempt to make a healthy choice, people fall into the mistake of consuming excessive amounts of fruit, even replacing meals with it\u2014especially in so-called <strong>&#8220;slimming&#8221; juices<\/strong> where fiber is also discarded.

However, this loss is mainly due to a reduction in fluids, as carbohydrates bind to water, and also to a decrease in muscle mass. The body will take proteins and, instead of using them for structural purposes (such as muscle regeneration and enzyme formation), it will use them to produce energy due to the lack of available carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"gluten\">Moreover, the <strong>rebound effect<\/strong> is almost inevitable: as soon as carbohydrates are reintroduced, the body tends to gain weight and bloat because it has lost its &#8220;carbohydrate affinity,&#8221; having adapted to a different way of generating energy. In many cases, a carefully managed carbohydrate reintroduction diet, supervised by specialists, is necessary.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-73559b2\" id=\"8-gluten-free-diets-are-healthy-for-everyone\" data-block-id=\"73559b2\"><style>.stk-73559b2{margin-bottom:15px !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">8. Gluten-Free Diets Are Healthy for Everyone<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>For several years, the craze for \u201cgluten-free\u201d diets for weight loss has exploded, even in cases where no diagnosed celiac disease is present (which, we should remember, affects less than 1% of the population in Italy).<\/p>\n\n<p>This food myth arises because, in some cases, consuming gluten can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/goodbye-bloated-belly\/\">bloating <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/daytime-drowsiness-causes-symptoms-and-solutions\/\">fatigue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, these are inflammatory issues: it is not gluten itself, but its excessive and repeated consumption\u2014typical of our diet\u2014that causes problems.<\/p>\n\n<p>In all cases where celiac disease is not present, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/rotation-diet\/\">rotation diet<\/a> is needed to manage gluten intake throughout the week without completely eliminating it.<\/p>\n\n<p>Moreover, in most cases, industrial \u201cgluten-free\u201d products (as opposed to naturally gluten-free foods like brown rice and quinoa) are high in added fats to enhance their taste.<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"fruttosio\">Since this is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/celiac-disease-inflammation\/\">inflammatory issue<\/a>, the solution lies in moderating gluten consumption rather than eliminating it altogether.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-df2d54e\" id=\"9-fructose-is-a-healthy-choice\" data-block-id=\"df2d54e\"><style>.stk-df2d54e{margin-bottom:15px !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">9. Fructose Is a Healthy Choice<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>Fructose is a monosaccharide like glucose and belongs to the category of simple sugars. Table sugar, or sucrose, is made up of equal parts glucose and fructose.<\/p>\n\n<p>Unlike glucose, fructose is absorbed in the liver and therefore has a lower immediate impact on blood sugar levels and insulin stimulation. For this reason, it was <strong>recommended for years in &#8220;healthy&#8221; diets<\/strong>, especially for children, making it one of the most deeply rooted food myths in common perception.<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"xilitolo\">However, this very characteristic\u2014being metabolized in the liver\u2014actually links fructose to one of the most serious conditions of recent years: hepatic steatosis (or fatty liver disease), which can have severe consequences. While traditional fasting blood sugar measurements may not reflect its effects, fructose still triggers sugar-induced inflammation by increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/methylglyoxal-a-new-marker-of-glycemic-variability\/\">methylglyoxal<\/a>, a highly oxidative free radical that promotes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/insulin-resistance-sugar-induced-inflammation-and-weight-loss\/\">insulin resistance.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-16245fa\" id=\"10-xylitol-chewing-gum-is-good-for-teeth-and-has-no-side-effects\" data-block-id=\"16245fa\"><style>.stk-16245fa{margin-bottom:15px !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">10. Xylitol Chewing Gum Is Good for Teeth and Has No Side Effects<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>Xylitol is a sweetener that belongs to the polyol category (such as mannitol, sorbitol, and erythritol), which are complex sugar alcohols.<\/p>\n\n<p>Its role in preventing cavities, albeit indirectly, is not a myth, as the bacteria responsible for tooth decay thrive on sugars but not on polyols<\/p>\n\n<p>Like other sweeteners, xylitol is widely used in &#8220;low-sugar&#8221; or &#8220;sugar-free&#8221; products because it provides a negligible calorie intake compared to regular sugar<\/p>\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the problem? <strong>Xylitol contributes to insulin resistance<\/strong> by directly increasing sugar-induced inflammation, much like fructose, raising methylglyoxal levels.<\/p>\n\n<p>Additionally, excessive polyol consumption can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to laxative effects\u2014something clearly documented on chewing gum packaging and soft drink cans.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>At the end of this journey through food myths, all that remains is to reiterate what was mentioned in the first part: on one hand, there are no magic tricks or shortcuts to getting in shape in a balanced and lasting way, but on the other hand, it\u2019s also not necessary to resort to unnecessary restrictions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Knowing exactly what your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/rotation-diet\/\">individual nutritional profile <\/a>is and setting up a personalized rotation diet allows you to modulate inflammation and avoid improvised low-calorie diets that eliminate essential nutrients for the proper functioning of our body.<\/p>\n\n<p>Through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/product\/perme-recaller-program\/\">PerM\u00e8 Recaller Program<\/a> (which evaluates inflammation caused by both sugars and foods), it is possible to assess which foods consumed in excess should be modulated in your diet.<\/p>\n\n<p>Understanding the cause of weight loss difficulties and having personalized guidance on individual inflammatory responses, as indicated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/product\/perme-recaller-program\/\">PerM\u00e8 Recaller Program<\/a> report, can be the winning strategy to get in shape and simultaneously<strong> boost your immune system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/the-scientific-editorial-team\/\">The scientific editorial Team GEK Lab<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-11692d3\" id=\"articoli-correlati\" data-block-id=\"11692d3\"><style>.stk-11692d3{margin-bottom:10px !important}.stk-11692d3 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:30px !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-11692d3 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:30px !important}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-align-center\">Articoli correlati<\/h3><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-ea6d35cb     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-3 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"0\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"uagb-post__no-posts\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNo post found!\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this second part of our overview on food myths, we\u2019ll focus primarily on beliefs surrounding carbohydrates.
