Myth: Fat is bad for us
误区一:脂肪危害身体健康
'Real fat is not bad for us,’ says ¬Harcombe. ‘It’s man-made fats we should be demonising. Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? In a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.
赫尔康比说:“天然脂肪不会危害身体健康,人工脂肪才应是我们敬而远之的。我们为何要断定肉类含有过多饱和脂肪?事实上,每100克猪排中含有2.3克不饱和脂肪和1.5克饱和脂肪。
'Fat is essential for every cell in the body. In Britain [according to the Family Food Survey of 2008, we are deficient in the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E, which are responsible for healthy eyesight, bone strength, mental health, cancer and blood vessel protection and, therefore, heart health. We need to eat real fat in order for these vital vitamins to be absorbed into the body.’
脂肪对于身体细胞来说至关重要。2008年英国家庭饮食调查显示,英国人体内缺乏脂溶性维生素A,D和E,而这类维生素恰恰可以保护视力和心理健康,强壮骨骼;同时防止癌症,保护心脑血管健康。为保证身体吸收这些必需的维生素,我们需要适量食用天然脂肪。
