You're so right. It's important to identify the "fads" and health trends that aren't based in facts. So often these are created by the companies that stand to profit by them. Olive oil, for example, was touted as a miracle for our health. In its pure form it is but most of the olive oil available to us in the US is counterfeit (seed oils) or rancid and actually is dangerous to consume. There are only a handful of olive oil brands that sell the genuine thing that are available to us here in America (surprisingly, Costco's Kirkland brand is one of them). Multiply this scenario by one hundred different dietary products and you can imagine how difficult it is to make good choices. I think eating as natural, pure and close to the source is always best. Stress plays a huge role too.
