Although it’s essential to stay informed about food safety, it’s even more important not to fall for panic-based posts. Vegetables are, without a doubt, among the healthiest foods one can consume.
Instead of avoiding certain vegetables based on rumors, focus on:
Proper sourcing and cleaning
Balanced cooking methods
Moderation in pickling and preserving
Safe food storage
Critical thinking when reading health posts online
So the next time you see a scary post telling you to avoid “3 cancer-causing vegetables,” take a deep breath, check the facts—and then go enjoy a healthy, colorful salad.
