「食物金字塔」大變身？少肉多菜未必最健康？美國最新飲食指南顛覆傳統概念，將肉類與蔬菜同列為最大比例，而穀物則變成最小部分。中大生命科學學院食品及營養科學課程課程助理主任葉珮詩指出: (1) 並非鼓勵無限制食肉，整體飽和脂肪攝取仍需控制在每日不超過 10%。一般市民若只看到「肉類比例增加」而忽略飽和脂肪上限，反而可能增加健康風險。(2) 新指引同時強調選擇全穀物，以增加膳食纖維攝取。(3)對於糖尿病、心血管疾病、高膽固醇或高血壓人士，貿然跟從新比例，大幅增加肉類攝取或減少五穀攝取，未必合適，甚至可能對健康不利。歡迎大家到以下網頁重温訪問https://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20260128/bkn-20260128190159510-0128_00822_001.html#CUHK #CUHKScience #CUHK_LifeSciences #lifesciences #schooloflifesciences #CUHK_SLS #CUFNS #香港中文大學 #中大理學院 #中大生命科學學院 ...
