　　Fewer vegetarians than meat-eaters are overweight. That doesn't mean avoiding meat is the key to weight control, though. With or without meat, filling up on fruits and vegetables instead of sweets, high-fat snack foods, high-sugar drinks and alcohol make weight control easier.

　　与食肉者相比，素食者较少超重。然而，这并不意味着不食肉是控制体重的关键。无论食肉或不食肉，只要摄入大量蔬果，以取代甜食、高脂快餐、高糖饮料和酒，都有利于控制体重。

　　One of the major heart-related benefits of vegetarian eating is probably the low level of cholesterol-raising saturated fat in these diets, but this doesn't mean completely omitting meat from the diet is necessary for good health. Foods like fish, skinless poultry and even lean red meats don't add much saturated fat, as long as portions are kept moderate.

　　素食对心脏保健的主要好处之一，就是这些膳食中含有较低的升胆固醇饱和

　　Cholesterol-raising trans fat is another issue to consider. A "vegetarian" diet rich in deep-fried or high-fat foods is far from healthful.

　　升胆固醇转化脂肪也是需要考虑的问题。如果“素食”多为油炸食品或高脂肪食品，那样一点也不利健康。
