These foods don't deserve their bad reputations, dietitians and doctors say ( www.nbcnews.com )

Eggs, coffee and potatoes are among the foods health experts think get a bad rap for bad reasons.

Eggs, potatoes, coffee: These kitchen staples, among others, have gained bad reputations, nutrition experts say, but don’t necessarily deserve it. In fact, registered dietitians, doctors and nutrition professors are increasingly advising people to eat them.

Nutrition advice is ever changing, which can leave consumers uncertain about which foods are actually healthy. NBC News asked nine health experts about the foods they think have been wrongly villainized. Here are some of the items they listed and the benefits people may miss out on if they forgo them entirely.

If the eggs you're eating, the coffee beans you're grinding, potatoes you're growing are done with responsible practices, organic, and preferably from small scale farms (generally how things ought to be if giant corporations weren't involved in our food), these things wouldn't be perceived this way at all.

Please explain what makes "organic" vegetables healthier, because you'll win a Nobel prize for the work if you find evidence confirming any actual health benefits.

Love the info here, Ill add what they say about not looking at single foods in isolation and making a balanced diet is necessery. Psychologically you're going to have cravings for certain foods, denying your cravings can lead to binging when you finally do give in. Find healthy ways to satiate them. For example I crave sweets especially ice cream butn a good Greek Yogurt with zero sugar added hits the spot. Eggs and Avocado are amazing if you're craving something 'greasy'
