Most myths that I've seen busted relate to vegetarianism.
1) You must mix incomplete proteins at each meal to make a complete protein.
2) You need animal foods to get enough calcium, iron, etc.
3) Soymilk will shrivel your nads, invert your penis into a vagina, and grow you a pair of moobs.
4) Dairy products are required to prevent osteoporosis.
Stuff like that.
