Foreword
Dr. Berg uses humor and satire to expose twelve common health myths that are frequently marketed in modern society but secretly harm health. He warns people that these taken-for-granted "health tips" often come from the processed food industry, pharmaceutical companies, and the media, and if left unchecked, will gradually destroy the body's self-healing abilities.

First, believe that "moderation is key."
We often hear the saying, "There are no bad foods, only too much of them," but Dr. Berg points out that junk food doesn't become healthier just because you eat less of it . Refined sugar, trans fats, and seed oils can trigger chronic inflammation, damaging metabolism and vascular health.
II. "Enjoying Life" with Sugary Drinks
Soft drinks, energy drinks, and fruit juices may bring fleeting pleasure, but they are major culprits in causing diabetes, obesity, and liver stress . He sarcastically remarked, "Drinking until your grave is considered ' enjoying life to the fullest . ' "
Third, sitting for long periods is okay.
"Exercise can lead to injury, so it's safer to lie down" —this is one of the most destructive misconceptions. Dr. Berg warns that prolonged sitting weakens muscles and increases the risk of heart disease and anxiety .
IV. The Trap of "Rewarding Yourself"
Many people reward themselves with desserts or alcohol after successfully losing weight or giving up sugar. This practice actually puts the body back into the insulin cycle and sugar addiction .
5. Avoid sunlight and stay indoors.
While sunscreen can prevent sunburn, prolonged lack of sunlight can lead to severe vitamin D deficiency , weakening the immune system and affecting mood. Dr. Berger joked, "Don't worry, sunscreen will help you stop all vitamin D production."
VI. Eight meals a day are healthy
Modern people are encouraged to eat "small, frequent meals," but this causes insulin levels to remain high for extended periods, making it difficult to burn fat. In contrast, intermittent fasting allows the body to restore metabolic elasticity .
7. Believing that "all calories are the same"
Eating 500 calories of donuts and 500 calories of vegetables have vastly different effects. Food influences hormonal responses and feelings of fullness; nutrient density is key .
8. Bedtime snacks can help you sleep.
Many people mistakenly believe that eating ice cream can help them sleep better, but in reality, it can cause blood sugar fluctuations and disrupt sleep cycles.
9. Blindly believing that "medicine is safer than natural therapies"
Dr. Berg warns that medication only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and often triggers a chain of side effects ; improving lifestyle habits and nutritional intake is the long-term solution.
10. Using coffee to replace sleep
Sleep is severely underestimated by modern people. While coffee can be stimulating, it can interfere with adrenal function, leading to chronic fatigue and anxiety.
11. Treating illness as "fate"
Many people attribute health problems to genetics, but most chronic diseases are actually related to diet, stress, and sleep habits . Changing behavior is far more effective than blaming "bad genes."
12. Refusing to learn and change
Dr. Berg concluded by pointing out that ignorance and laziness regarding health are the biggest killers . He encouraged people to proactively learn about nutrition, exercise, and immunity to build a "bulletproof body" that can withstand environmental stressors.
