不在乎不吃什么而在乎吃什么

　　Some studies have linked red meat to a greater risk of colon cancer, but a new report in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition questions such a link. Even if cancer or heart disease is related to processed meats and sausages, high-fat meats and those cooked at high-temperatures (which form carcinogens), that doesn't necessarily mean all meat, fish and poultry pose a risk.

　　有研究已发现，食牛羊肉者患结肠癌的危险较大，但是《欧洲临床营养学杂志》的一篇最新报告质疑了这种联系。虽然癌症或心脏病的发生与腌肉、香肠、肥肉和能形成致癌物的高温肉制品有关，但这也不能肯定所有的肉、鱼和家禽都具有危险。

　　AICR claims that vegetarian eating may reduce the risk of some cancers, but emphasizes that any beneficial effects of a vegetarian diet may also be gained from one that limits meat and other animal products, and emphasizes an abundance of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. The same conclusion probably applies to heart-related and other health benefits of vegetarian eating. It's not just what you avoid, it's what you eat that counts.

　　AICR认为，素食可以减少患某些癌症的危险，但适量吃肉和其它动物食品的人也可能得到素食的健康好处，前提要摄入大量的蔬菜、水果、谷类和豆类。这一结论可能也适用于素食对心脏的保健和其它健康好处。重要的不仅仅是你不吃什么，而是你吃了什么。
