Neither too little,nor too much.
Many people believe that sugar is bad for your health;
others say that sugar is the best source of energy.
We also hear similar conflicting arguments
about meat between vegetarians and meat-eaters.
Who is right and what is your opinion?
Are you easily influenced by one piece of advice today
and then by another one tomorrow?
Obviously,you might think that going to extremes is not the right way,
for the importance of having a variety of food in one's diet is quite clear today.
Scientists have again and again warned us
that a lack of certain kinds of food is dangerous,
especially for children,
because without a balanced diet their bodies cannot grow properly.
Scientists have also told us that having too much of anything,
including one's favorite food, is equally dangerous.

不能过少,也不能太多
很多人认为糖分对人类的健康是有害的。
有些人则说糖分是最好的能量之源。
我们也经常听到类似矛盾的争论
特别是在在素食主义和肉食者之间。
到底哪一方才是对的?你的意见又是什么呢?
你还会今天轻易地被其中一方的言论影响
而明天又被另一方意见所左右吗?
很明显,你会认为某种方式过于极端都不会是正确的方式,
在今天,饮食多样性的重要性不言而喻。
科学家们一遍又一遍的告诉我们
调试是很危险的,
特别是对于孩子们来说,
因为缺乏均衡的饮食,他们的身体就无法健康的成长。
科学家们也告诉我们,某种东西吃太多,
包括那种你最喜欢吃的食物,也是很危险的。
他们说,例如,
孩子们食用了太多汉堡包和奶昔
就会增加心脏病发作的风险。
因此,看起来我们最明智的做法
就是在吃东西之前先看清楚。
科学家关于人体需要的脂肪和蛋白质的需求,
还有矿物质和维他命的需求,
都能帮助我们在正确的时间作出正确的选择。
也能帮助我们在各种误导消息中找到正确的道路。
