Stuff That You're Convinced Is Healthy But You Can't Prove It Otherwise 1

Is there anything you do that you swear is healthy and really good for you, but you have no real science to back it up? Have you heard people dispense similar advice about what to do for your health that rings similar to the things being said below?
Eating pickles or any kind of fermented foods. I'm convinced it's really healthy but have got no science to back it up whatsoever. Well, there is data that proves that fermented foods like natto and kim chi are healthy and good for the gut, but not for pickled foods like sauerkraut, pickles, or olives.
Veggie and fruit smoothies. I totally believe that adding vegetables and/or fruit to your diet reduces your likelihood of cancer and tumors.
Also, garlic and apple cider vinegar cleanses. It's something I do periodically every few months. There is all sorts of anecdotal evidence to back up that it can fight certain infections, but no real data.

Eggs and butter. The science is split 50/50 last I check, but it's healthy and nothing will convince me otherwise except a solid piece of evidence.
Pasta. I've been eating my own weigh in pasta almost every day. Still alive.

Ok for reals now...I have a handful of either almonds or pumpkin seeds every day convinced that I'll live longer and healthier because of it.
I also only eat organic of the foods that fall into the "dirty dozen" category thinking that I'll avoid cancer that way.

Eating fermented foods increases healthy gut flora.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

onions are a negative food meaning it takes more energy for our body to process, than they give our body energy.

Raw cider vinegar that has not been pasteurized or filtered contains a living strain of biotic. I have used it to cure colds and flus personally.

I'm convinced beer and whiskey in moderate amounts is a replacement for vegetables
I'm convinced marijuana will prevent cancer.
I'm convinced being hydrated while smoking cigarettes reduces cancer risks. Or maybe behing dehydrated and smoking increases it.
Convinced green tea is good for my brain, but there's evidence supporting that.

Back when my brothers and I raised show goats we would put a little apple cider vinegar in thier water every week to prevent kidney stones. As far as for people I have not researched it. But many have told me it's good for lots of things.
