【推荐1】Sugar shocked. That describes the reaction of many Americans this week that, 50 years ago, the sugar industry paid Harvard scientists for research that shifted the focus away from sugar’s role in heart diseas — and put the spotlight (注意的中心) squarely on dietary fat.

What might surprise consumers worldwide is just how many present-day nutrition studies are still funded by the food industry. Nutrition scholar Marion Nestle of New York University spent a year informally tracking industry-funded studies on food. “Roughly 90% of nearly 170 studies favored the sponsor’s interest,” Nestle tells us. For instance, studies funded by Welch Foods — the brand behind Welchs 100% Grape Juice — found that drinking Concord grape juice daily may boost brain function. Another, funded by Quaker Oats concluded, as a Daily Mail story put it, , that “hot oatmeal (燕麦粥) breakfast keeps you full for longer.”

Last year, The New York Times revealed how Coca-Cola was funding well-known scientists and organizations promoting a message that, in the battle against weight gain, people should pay more attention to exercise and less to what they eat and drink. Coca-Cola also released data detailing its funding of several medical institutions and associations between 2010 and 2015.

“It’s certainly a problem that so much research in nutrition and health is funded by industry” says Bonnie Liebman, director of nutrition at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “When the food industry pays for research, it often gets what it pays for.”

Given this environment, consumers should be skeptical when reading the latest finding in nutrition science and never fully trust the latest study that pops up on your news feed. “What we should do is to rely on health experts who’ve reviewed all the evidence,” Liebman says, “pointing to the official government Dietary Guidelines, which are based on reviews of hundreds of studies. And that expert advice remains pretty simple,” says Nestle. “We know what healthy diets are — lots of vegetables, not too much junk food balanced calories.”

【推荐2】Mold is unpleasant because of how it looks and smells. Some people have the habit of removing mold from food in order to consume the unaffected rest.     1    

Removing the moldy parts doesn't guarantee that the toxins(毒素) present in the product will be removed completely. Therefore, they can cause illness or food poisoning. Only hard and dry food scan be consumed once the moldy part has been removed. Therefore, you should completely throwaway soft and moist foods in this situation.     2    We can't afford to ignore the presence of molds on the surface and inside products. However it's okay to eat cured meat products, firm fruits, and vegetables.

    3    Many of these have to do with the consumption of raw foods that haven't undergone the appropriate processes. For example, eat some fruits without washing them thoroughly. Some chemicals are often added to them while they are being grown or processed. Besides, consuming raw or undercooked white fish, without prior freezing, also increases the risk of contamination(污染) with anisakis.     4    Experts usually recommend unfreezing products in the refrigerator. This prevents temperatures that are favorable for bacterial growth.

ln addition, you must take care when handling raw foods and cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination. Cross-contamination can occur through indirect spread of microorganisms by equipment, food handlers, cook facilities or surfaces.     5    Microorganisms could pass from one to the other and certain microorganisms cause most types of food poisoning, After entering the body, these living things release poisons that make people sick.

【推荐1】Zing! Such is the sound of the towline (拖绳) as it flies from my grasp and the motorboat drags it away. It is also the end of my effort to stand on two blue boards and sail across a lake behind a speedboat. “I’ve had it, Dad. Come get me!” I know he can’t hear me as he rockets off. Besides, I know what he will say—“It’s easy, sweetheart. Just stand up and let the boat do the rest.” Well, I’ve tried to follow his advice, but my shaky legs tell me it’s over. How did it come to this?

My father determined that his group of teenagers should learn to water-ski. He knew little about it, but he saw others on the lake with fast crafts (船) and joyful skiers, and decided to join the fun.

On a hot day, he tied the rope and loaded us into life jackets. One by one, he pulled the boys to and from, waving to neighbors on their docks. Then it was the girls’ turn. I jumped in the lake, wore the two heavy skis, pointed them out of the water, and grasped the towline with trembling hands. I had no idea what to do. My father dismissed my fears with a wave of his hand. “Keep the tips up, sweetheart.”

It’s time to give up. But here comes my dad dragging the line, ready for me to try again. I signal that I am ready to get back in the boat, but he smiles and yells, “This time will be magic!”

Dad guns the engine. The weight of an entire lake is on my chest, pushing me back. Like a light switched on in a dark room, my father’s words show me the way. “Just stand up, angel. Just do it.” And so I did, even though I cried aloud.

I take a deep breath and straighten my legs. My blue skis begin to skim (滑过) the lake, like a seagull scanning for snacks!
