第一集《食得最健康》,Jimmy 和 Kate分別出發,從「健康餐單」中的第五十位開始,走訪澳洲、美國和英國等地,發現某些地區的飲食習慣不但欠缺新鮮的疏果,更含有大量的脂肪、酒精、油鹽等,令人發胖之餘,更可引致癌症,嚴重危害健康。

美研究:服食過多維他命丸 不但無益 更會致癌

不少城市人為了增強抵抗力、讓身體更健康,都會每日服用不同的維他命丸,但美國近日有研究發現,服用過多的維他命,不但對身體健康沒有幫助,更有可能導致心臟病和癌症。
世界頂級的癌病治療專家Dr Tim Byers,探究了三十年來的研究報告,發現服食過量的維他命Ezc、:β-胡蘿蔔素、葉酸或維他命B,可以帶來反效果:「我們未清楚原因,但證據顯示服用多過建議份量的話,有更大風險患上癌病。」
專家先在動物上做實驗證明了此狀況,之後再研究數千名有服用額外維他命的病人,得出以下數據:
在英國,每年超過230,000名孕婦都會服用維他命B,以防止脊柱斷裂又或其他感染。但Dr Byer的團隊發現,服食過量的話,患癌的機會大幅增加56%,亦會令人更易長出息肉。
至於:β-胡蘿蔔素,專家指服食過量的話,患上心臟病和肺癌的機會上升20%。
另外,在2001至2014年,專家研究35,000名服食過多維他命E的人士,發現他們患前列腺癌的機會比一般人高17%。
來自美國科羅拉多大學癌症中心的預防及控制的聯席總監Dr Byers,於20年前,因有報告指食更多水果和蔬菜有助防癌,故他展開今次的研究。他想知道究竟維他命補充丸這個在英國市值接近4億的市場,究竟對防止致命疾病的作用如何。
結論就是,健康的天然食品是不可被取代。
要維他命B,可以食西蘭花;杏仁和甘藍湯則有豐富維他命E,可增強免疫力;紅蘿蔔和芒果則含大量:β-胡蘿蔔素,有效防癌和心臟病。
▼要吸取更多營養素,還是透過天然食品更為健康,如西蘭花就含有豐富維他命B
