Local knowledge is widely used as a way of life because it has been attached to the values of the community. Unfortunately, not all local knowledge is good to maintain. This article aims to correct misconceptions about nutrition and its central nutrition in Javanese society. The research method used in this study is traditional literature review (TRL). The researcher uses four TRL steps: designing a review, conducting a review, analyzing, and writing a review. Misconception is a negative side of local knowledge that emerges as one of the consequences of oral transmission. Misconceptions can be categorized as misinformation that appears along with myths in a society. Researchers' research shows that misconceptions about nutrition and food are widely circulated among the Javanese people. An interesting finding is that almost all food and nutrition misconceptions target women, while it is almost not found in men. It takes a massive role of the government to correct misconceptions that occur in society, especially in the health sector, and to stop misinformation from occurring by disseminating correct information through the educational, health, social, and cultural sectors.}, issn = {3031-5794}, url = {https://proceedings.undip.ac.id/index.php/icocas/article/view/794} }
