    現代人越來越注重養生，透過日新月異的科學與研究，「飲食指南」也不斷地在更新。根據澳洲網站《The Conversation》報導，過去曾經被營養師掛上「不宜多吃」的五種食物，最新研究卻證實他們是維持健康的小幫手!!想知道是哪五種食物嗎?點擊下方《子璿教英文》新聞英文「這五大食物其實沒那麼糟」，一邊學英文，一邊讓陳子璿老師告訴你，如何吃得健康喔~~

    ●Five foods that used to be bad for you … but now aren’t

    五種過去被認為不好的食物，現在不是瞭

    1.Eggs 雞蛋

    For a long time, eggs were thought to be bad for your heart. A large egg contains a hefty 185mg of cholesterol. But for the last 20 years, nutrition and medical research has shown repeatedly that at normal intakes dietary cholesterol has very little influence on a person’s blood cholesterol levels. Eggs are an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, and several vitamins and minerals.

    雞蛋長年被認為會造成心髒負擔，一顆雞蛋內含有185毫剋的膽固醇。但過去20年的營養和醫學研究紛紛顯示，正常攝取膳食膽固醇其實不會讓人體血液的總膽固醇飆高。雞蛋反而是蛋白質、健康脂肪以及多種維生素和礦物質的優良食物來源。

    2.Fat spreads 脂肪抹醬

    There is still confusion among consumers as to whether vegetable, fat-based spreads are safe to eat. The short answer is yes, as long as the food label doesn’t list “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil” as an ingredient.

    消費者仍然對人造植物奶油的安全性質疑。其實，人造奶油的成分中隻要不含「部份氫化植物油（Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil）」，就是安全可食用的。

    3.Potatoes 馬鈴薯

    Potatoes are one of the few vegetables considered to be unhealthy. Because they’re a high glycemic index food they tend to get lumped in with foods made from refined carbohydrates as foods to avoid. But potatoes are a rich source of carbohydrates, vitamin C, some B vitamins and trace minerals.

    由於馬鈴薯含有高升糖指數，常被與精緻碳水化閤物混為一談，而被認為是少數「不良蔬菜」之一。但馬鈴薯其實是優質碳水化閤物、維生素C、B群和微量元素的豐富來源。

    4.Dairy 乳製品

    Although it’s best to avoid a diet high in saturated fat (a risk factor for CHD), regularly consuming dairy products doesn’t need to be a concern if your overall calorie intake and fat intake is healthy. The recent updates to the UK Eat Well Plate still promotes dairy foods as part of a healthy diet, as long as the dairy choices are lower in fat.

    如果你的整體卡路裏和脂肪攝取量沒有超標，基本上正常的攝取乳製品都不用太過擔心。根據最新英國飲食指南The Eatwell Guide，隻要適當挑選低脂産品，多攝取乳製品其實對健康無礙。

    5.Raw nuts and nut butters 堅果及果醬

    There is mounting evidence to suggest that raw nuts are key to a healthy diet and maintaining healthy body weight. A recent study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, showed that eating raw nuts reduces death from all causes, cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death.

    愈來愈多證據顯示，未加工的堅果是健康飲食和維持健康體重的關鍵。《英國營養學雜誌》（British Journal of Nutrition）近期一份研究指齣，未加工的堅果可以降低各種疾病的死亡率，包含心血管疾病、冠狀動脈心髒疾病和心髒病猝死。

    Remember, when it comes to food and health: all foods fit into a healthy diet. Don’t fall into the trap of believing in “superfoods” or “food villains”. Enthusiastic consumption of one particular “superfood” can be worse than consuming a so called “food villain”.

    記住，任何一種食物都沒有絕對的好壞之分。如果掉進隻吃某種「超級食物」的迷思，結果可能比攝取「惡魔食物」還要糟糕。
