__1__:less red meat and more fibre,less saturated fat(饱和脂肪)and more fruit and veg,right?Wrong,according to a controversial new book by nutritionist Zoe Harcombe.In the book,Harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin(巩固)dietary advice—and her myth(误区)—breaking conclusions are surprising.
- 6 -
Myth:__2__.
“Real fat is not bad for us,”says Harcombe.It's manmade fats that we should be demonising.Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat?In a 100 g pork chop,there is 2.3 g of unsaturated fat and 1.5 g of saturated fat.
Myth:We should eat more fibre.
For three decades,we have eaten fibre into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving.__3__,says Harcombe.
The advice to eat more fibre is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems.But essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines(肠道),so why do we want to wash everything out?Concentrate on not putting bad food in.
Myth:You need to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day.
“Fiveaday is the most wellknown piece of nutritional advice,”says Harcombe.“You'd think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit.__4__.”
Fiveaday started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and veg companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991.There was no evidence for any cancer benefit.
Myth:Fruit and veg are the most nutritious things to eat.
Apparently not.Harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to the diet—if served in butter to deliver the fatsoluble(dissolved)vitamins they contain—but natural sugar,the fruit sugar in fruit,goes straight to the liver and is storedas fat.
__5__,says Harcombe,who adds:“Vitamins and minerals in animal foods—meat,fish,eggs and dairy products—beat those in fruit.”
A.Want to lose weight?Don't trust these
B.We think we know what to eat
C.This is not a good idea
D.Fat is bad for us
E.Think again
F.We need take more exercise
G.Fruit is best awided by those trying to lose weight
答案 1.B 2.D 3.C 4.E 5.G
