They can lead to excessive and _ unnecessary _ °xâ€" penditures for particular foods which are no more beneficial than products obtainable _ at _ regular markets. Another problem is that fallacies may lead to the purchase of foods to treat ailments which should be under a physician‘s care. For every fallacy, there is a scientific fact; for every overrated health food, there is a comparable natural food, for every fad diet, there is a better eating pattern based on the nutrients essential for adequate nourishment.
