"We are a bit over-reliant on dairy as a source of protein," says Dr Duane Mellor, but the solution may not be plant-based replacements, which, apart from soy, don't contain much protein, anyway — almond milk can be as little as only 2% nut, giving it just 1g of protein per 100ml, similar to oat, whereas dairy milk contains about 3.5g of protein per 100ml.
杜安·梅勒博士表示:“我们大家有点过度依赖奶制品来获取蛋白质了。”但是,这个问题的出路,也并非是植物奶替代品;(因为)除了豆奶,其他植物奶的蛋白质含量都微乎其微——(比如)杏仁奶的坚果含量低至 2%,所以每 100 毫升杏仁奶中仅含有 1 克蛋白质;燕麦奶也是类似的。而真正的牛奶当中,每百毫升的蛋白质含量则能够达到 3.5 克左右。

Is red wine the acceptable face of alcohol?
红酒就能“洗白”酒精吗?

Polyphenols are not unique to red wine: they are found in blueberries and other dark fruits, so it doesn't make sense to say you need to drink red wine to get the health benefits. We know that alcohol causes about 200 medical conditions: you can't drink to get the benefits without also increasing your risk of other types of diseases.
多酚并不只存在于红酒当中:它们也广泛存在于蓝莓等一系列深色水果当中;所以你如果说,非得嘬口红酒才能摄取多酚来强身健体,那这话可站不住脚了。而且众所周知,酒精可能引发的健康问题差不多有 200 种:所以你即便喝红酒获得了多酚的健康“加持”,也同样免不了提高各种潜在的疾病风险。

Carbs are associated with rising levels of obesity. But that doesn't mean all carbs are bad. We could limit simple carbs and eat complex carbs instead, which are found in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds. As with all things, moderation is key.
碳水化合物总是会和人们越来越胖联系到一起。然而这绝非意味着所有碳水都是不好的。我们要做的,是少吃单一碳水化合物,转而多吃复合式;这类碳水存在于蔬菜、水果、全谷物、坚果仁以及籽类食物中。同时,万“吃”不离其宗,适量是关键。
