This quiz is based on information I have come across on the Internet. I suggest you do your own research and decide what to do from now on.

If you had to choose True or False, how would you do the following quiz?:

1.     Dairy products are good for your bones.  (True—False)

2.     Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice.  (True—False)

3.     Soy products are good for you.  (True—False)

Well, how did you do this quiz? Let’s see.

1.     Dairy products are good for you: False.

Dairy products can cause you to lose calcium from your bones. In addition to causing a lot of health problems such as allergies, inflammation, and digestive disorders, cow’s milk and its derivatives can actually cause your bones to lose calcium.

2.     Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice: False

White rice is clean. It has no bran. The bran in brown rice contains an anti-nutrient called phytic acid that binds to the minerals in your body and leaches them out.

The phytic acid in brown rice is found in the bran. White rice doesn’t have it. The only other thing the bran is good for is fiber, but maybe you are already getting your fiber from another source, and you should not eat fiber in excess. In addition, the germ is filled with easily-oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids which are not very good for you. White rice does not have this problem.

3.     Soy products are good for you: False

Soy also contains the anti-nutrient phytic acid, which can cause a host of problems in your body. Soy can reduce assimilation of important minerals and vitamins such as vitamins D and B12. In addition, excessive consumption of soy products can cause hormonal problems such as diminished sex drive due to low testosterone levels in your system.
