4 . Understanding how much sugar and saturated fat (饱和脂肪) is in your drink can be confusing. Many of us end up having too much without realizing it. Saturated fat is often added into drinks to improve their “mouth-feel”. But having too much of both sugar and saturated fat can increase your risk of diabetes (糖尿病). Too much sugar can also lead to obesity (肥胖).
Nutri-Grade “grades” your drinks based on their sugar and saturated fat levels. Think of this as a score. Drinks graded “A” have the lowest sugar and saturated fat content, while drinks graded “D” have the highest.
Starting from the end of 2023, all drinks sold in Singapore must put a Nutri-Grade label (标签) on the drinks, according to sugar and saturated fat levels.
To manage your sugar and saturated fat intake, drink less Nutri-Grade C and D drinks and go for healthier choice or Nutri-Grade A or B drinks or simply choose water.
1. In which country now can you see the Nutri-Grade labels on the drinks?

5 . Staffan Lindeberg is a medical teacher at the University of Lund in Sweden. He was interested in a Stone Age diet. In the early 1990s, he began to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as it was very close to the Stone Age diet. While there, he found that people did not suffer from (患有) heart attacks, diabetes (糖尿病), being overweight and many other diseases common in western countries.
As a result of his findings, he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would affect them. Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet, also healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables. All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels, most suffered from diabetes and all had heart problems.
At the end of three months, the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood. The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients’ weight didn’t seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us healthier? The diet contains (包含) some meat, fish, vegetables and nuts (坚果) but it doesn’t contain any milk products or wheat, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitava people are healthier than us. After all, their life expectancy (预期寿命) is much lower. According to Staffan Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think. Because of their poor healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they are likely to live as long as people in more developed countries.
