Myths to Ignore

Claim
Reality
“Herbs detox eggs”
❌ Eggs don’t need “detoxing”—they’re whole food. Herbs add nutrients, not cleansing magic.
“Eggs + herbs cure [disease]”
❌ No single food combo cures disease. Nutrition supports overall health—but isn’t medicine.
“Only fresh herbs work”
⚠️ Dried herbs often have concentrated antioxidants (e.g., oregano, thyme). Both work!
“Egg whites only for health”
❌ Yolks contain 90% of eggs’ nutrients (choline, lutein, vitamin D). Skip them, miss the benefits.
