That viral study about bananas causing weight gain? Total junk science
My neighbor cited some Facebook post claiming bananas make you store fat. I looked up the actual study - sample size was 12 people and funded by a protein bar company. Has anyone else traced these health articles back to the source and found straight garbage?

I found the same thing with a celery detox article and it was just a smoothie company trying to sell stuff.

Wait, they actually put "detox" in the title and it was just a smoothie ad? That's wild. Five dollars says the article had a list of "10 signs you need celery juice" and every single one was just "you feel tired sometimes." I swear these companies think we're all walking around with nothing but celery-shaped holes in our lives. Next they'll be telling me my chronic dehydration can only be fixed by their $12 bottle of cucumber water.

Exactly! It's always some company trying to push their overpriced magic juice. They slap a health claim on anything and people eat it up.
