Just when I think I've seen it all in reference to irresponsible behavior, some company lowers the bar on social responsibility. A few weeks ago I was outraged to see a bogus energy drink claiming to help you actually burn calories...which I'm sure is enjoying record sales. That's bad coming from a start-up company, but when it's a household name like Taco Bell (YUM Brands), I don't know why, but it just feels dirtier.

If you haven't seen it, they are running an ad campaign called the DriveThruDiet.com. No seriously, they are. If you are like me and waiting for the Saturday Night Live spoof at the end, you'll be waiting a long time. Apparently their brilliant marketing team actually approved this concept that if you use the Taco Bell drive-thru, you will lose weight. They even have the arrogance to trot some attractive woman out on the set claiming it helped her lose a bunch of weight with the most egregious disclaimer language I've ever seen. As Chris Berman and the guys at ESPN would say, "C'mon, Man!"

Continuing on our myth-busting endeavor, here are Myths #7 and #8. See how our friends at Real Simple explain them away....

Myth No. 7: Eating Protein and Carbs at Different Meals Will Help You Lose Weight

The Theory: Protein and carbohydrates require different enzymes for digestion; if you eat the two separately, you improve digestion and further weight loss.

The Reality: Your digestive tract can handle a variety of food groups at the same time. There is no proof that eating protein and carbohydrates separately aids digestion or weight loss, says nutritionist Christopher Gardner. Indeed, it's healthier to combine protein and fiber-filled carbs than to separate them. "The pairing of protein and fiber is what fills you up the most and gives you the most energy," says Elisa Zied, a New York City-based registered dietitian and a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.
