How do Verify the Research on Health?

About different foods, you often hear or read the sentences that high consumption of protein foods causes cancer, saturated fats are harmful to health, eating an egg a day is essential for health, and fish contains a lot of mercury. Consume less Red meat can cause cancer Eat an apple a day.

Egg beds cause cholesterol to increase. Coffee drinkers don't age quickly. Yes, excessive consumption of sugar is harmful to your skin, lovers of sweet foods live a happy life, etc. But since food is one of the most important needs of human beings, discoveries regarding nutrients are also important.

Undoubtedly, every intelligent person becomes the center of attention Foods have a very clear role in treating human diseases or their treatment, so if something new comes out in this regard, one cannot ignore it. Research has a very important role.

It is true that if the door of research had not been opened, today mankind would never have reached this level of development. A look at the research shows that there are more or less 700 types of human foods available worldwide today, and unfortunately, so much research has been done on their benefits and harms that it becomes difficult to decide whether. What is a balanced diet?

About 24,000 books on nutrition and health are available only on Amazon, the well-known online shopping website. If you search by writing "diet" on the well-known search engine "Google", more than 10 million articles will appear in a few moments.

In 2014, a limited study in the United States found that the majority of people who wanted to know about foods were skeptical that the more they try to know, the more they become conflicted because of the research in this field.

I see "profound contradiction and conflict".Last May, a team of Researchers from Harvard University in the United States concluded from a comprehensive study that behind the new information about foods and diseases, to some extent, the hand of the institutions that provide funding for this type of research.

It also means that the said institutions must influence certain types of research and dissemination of its results.

It is Right or Not

One day research comes out that coffee is very beneficial for health and it protects against such and such diseases, while the next day, the latest research is published that it is responsible for many diseases and medical complications and that it should be abandoned immediately.

Salt is the cause of human problems and it is directed to be removed from the diet chart, then immediately articles on the usefulness and importance of salt are published by the Nutritionist. Carbohydrates are often cited as a cause of weight gain, and certain foods are sometimes encouraged to be completely avoided because they'll make you age, yet textbooks still teach carbohydrates as the main ingredient.

But in modern research, the responsibility for obesity, sugar, and other disorders is also placed on carbohydrates. Once a series of articles on the efficacy of vitamins start in the media, then the research on curing almost all human disorders through various types of vitamins. The period begins with different aq for specific diseases Sam's vitamins are recommended.

But luckily, people aren't trying them yet, and the opposite is happening, showing how too much of such-and-such vitamins can harm your organs. Or it can lead to medical complications. The same kind of problem is with food supplements. For the past few years, food supplements have been touted as the only solution to many physical problems.

Fish oil supplements for bone diseases, vitamin supplements, muscle building supplements, fruits Supplements, and unknown nutritional components have been considered as a treatment only in the form of supplements, although many Nutritionists and Medical Experts were against this trend, now there are books and articles against these specific supplements.

Experts say that taking only supplements for certain types of vitamins can cause problems, and it is better to use them in the form of fruits or whole vegetables, which are closer to nature. A bad school of thought in Western countries also has a similar opinion, but in the past few years, Western Experts rejected their old research and declared desi ghee useful and necessary for human health.

However, moderation is recommended in its use. Similarly, there is confusion around the world about pure milk today, whether it causes obesity and dementia or without milk, humans would be deprived of many nutrients. Today, all over the world "packaged food" i.e. almost all types of food is being sold in packaging and it is said that the use of open items is very dangerous for health, but on the contrary, over the past several years, the frequency of research has found evidence that packaged foods are causing new diseases.

After the "notoriety" of high-calorie foods in the world, savvy consumers now prefer low-calorie foods, but despite this, their health does not improve, and many people suffer from nutritional deficiencies, perhaps the psychology of marketing consumers. has understood attractive terms such as low calories, diet, zero sugar, low carb, gluten-free, and above all, natural means natural or "organizing" words are attached to any product, then people want to buy it. 

Consumers are uncomfortable with the term "processed," which refers to natural foods that have undergone multiple mechanical processing steps. Nutritionists often describe processed foods as harmful to human health.

Why are the Results So Varied and Contradictory?

According to Experts, regardless of other factors such as the research methodology, the people involved in the survey, the duration of the research, the ability of the Researchers, and Geographical conditions can also lead to different results about the same diet. For example, heart diseases.

Research on obesity often studies the effects of red meat and compares it to greens and pulses, although many other types of meat, including poultry, fish, and poultry, have been studied. Benchmarking can be a great development but is rarely seen. Sometimes it happens that only basic information or specific results are publicized, i.e. incomplete explanation also promotes problems and confusion rather than making the research useful. One of the main reasons why research comes out is because of advertising information provided by the advertiser.

It is good, but it has a bad effect on the common people, for example, the world's largest beverage company has established a large organization to show the harmful effects of its products. By obtaining the services of Medical Experts, Cardiologists, Nutritionists, and people associated with the media, efforts are made to eliminate the negative impression of the products of the relevant institutions, through major broadcasting organizations and press conferences, and research on the dangers of soda has been given a prominent place.

Goes to create a positive impression among people regarding their products can be done. Most "diet gurus" are actually paid employees of food companies, agricultural enterprises, and other for-profit enterprises, so they take financial interests into account instead of telling the truth, while it is human nature to always warn and warn.

He takes it seriously, therefore, if any eye-catching talk is made based on the opinions of experts regarding food and health, then it has a significant impact. Doctors also have a big hand in bringing new conflicting research to the fore because Doctors also think of themselves as nutritionists and by giving straightforward advice regarding the use of foods, they add to people's confusion instead of reducing it.

What Should be Done in this Complicated Situation?

Try to use natural foods as much as possible and cook your own food instead of market food. If someone forbids you from something based on new research, ask questions instead of giving in, but don't argue that you've never had a problem with such and such a diet.

Whole foods instead of supplements.

That is, give preference to a single fruit or vegetable that is rich in the required nutrient. Do not choose a product just because of words like natural and "organic", but prepare what you can grow at home.

If new research suggests that particular fruit or vegetable may contribute to your longevity, be sure to consult a nutritionist before consuming it indiscriminately and in large quantities.
