That’s OK then. A pint a day keeps the doctor away. A pint of beer, that is. Yes, it used to be a pint of milk, but that was before milk was bad for you. Going to work on an egg was the same. Now it is our old friend alcohol that is back in favor. Seven pints of beer, or a bottle and a half of wine, dramatically cut whether you get type 2 diabetes. It’s official. Danish scientists say so, and who are we to quarrel?
What should the ordinary reader make of the daily stream of stories bursting from medical research, usually followed by a request for more research cash? The biggest headlines go to anyone who can think about previous advice differently. Vitamins are good for you, or totally useless. Exercise is good for your heart, or might kill you, depending on who you are. Carbohydrates are good if complex, bad if not. Cholesterol also comes in "good" and "bad" varieties. As for the microbiome theory, it offers a new and abundant supply of horrors and delights.
Some things are getting better. Time was when "surveys show..." was preliminary to pure advertising copy. Peddlers of cigarettes, fats and cereals all used pseudo-science to claim health-giving properties for their wares. They probably killed hundreds of thousands. Advertising regulation and scientific peer review have done something to curb such distress.
The new threat is self-diagnosis. Doctors claim that a majority of patients investigate their symptoms online, arriving at the surgery demanding not diagnosis, but prescriptions. Flourishing health columns in the media have a similar effect.
Huge profits can be made by drug companies from claiming to postpone the approach of death. Big pharma behaves like medieval popes, selling indulgences to reduce time spent in temporary suffering. Its long campaign against cancer immunology — to protect its profitable chemotherapy patents — was a scandal of similar proportions. So is the continued condemnation of medicinal marijuana.
Increased knowledge about health must be a good thing. Increased regulation of such knowledge is essential, though not if dominated by big pharma, as it still is. As yet, there is no regulation of the Internet health anxiety, which fills the world with fake news in seconds.
The wisest response remains the old alliance of doubt and enjoyment. Trust nothing at first sight. Test everything against the evidence. The good things in life are best taken in moderation. But what makes you happy cannot be all bad, whatever the doctor says.
It is recommended in the last paragraph that we should______.
选项
A、have no doubt about various tips on health
B、remain cautious with each food we consume
C、eat a moderate amount of our favorite foods
D、believe in neither doctors’ advice nor evidence
答案
C
解析
文章最后一段的意义是:最聪明的反应仍然是怀疑与享受的传统结合。一开始不要相信任何东西,靠证据说话。生活当中的美味佳肴最好是适量享受。不管医生怎样说,使你快乐的东西不可能都是坏东西。
