——摘自美剧《豪斯医生》

Traditional Chinese medicine

When a patient drinks much water, there will inevitably be fulminant panting and fullness. Whenever a patient eats little and drinks much, water collects below the heart. In severe cases, this results in palpitation; in mild cases, in shortness of breath. When the pulses on both sides are stringlike, this means cold, which is always due to a tendency toward vacuity after major precipitation. When the pulse on one side is stringlike, this means rheum.

夫病人饮水多，必暴喘满，凡食少饮多，水停心下，甚者则悸，微者短气。脉双弦者寒也，皆大下后善虚。脉偏弦者饮也。

New US dietary guidelines include recs for babies and toddlers for first time

Updated December 30, 2020

Prevalence of added sugars

添加糖的流行学研究

The committee had also recommended that no amount of added sugar is OK for a baby's development.

委员会也建议，任何量的添加糖对婴儿发育都无益。

Parents and guardians should avoid added sugar in a child's diet, the committee recommended, because of the strong link to childhood obesity and future chronic health conditions.

委员会建议，父母和监护人都应该避免在孩子的饮食中添加糖，因为这与儿童肥胖和未来的慢性健康问题密切相关。

Instead the recommended amount of added sugar remained at 10% of daily calories in the guidelines, although the guidelines did add a recommendation for children under 2 years of age to consume no added sugars whatsoever.

然而，指南中推荐的添加糖量保持在每日卡路里的10%，尽管指南中增加2岁以下儿童不宜摄入添加糖的建议。

The new guidelines suggest that starting at the age of 2, a child should consume less than 10% of calories per day of added sugars while those younger than 2 years old should avoid foods or beverages with added sugars.

新指南建议，从2岁开始，儿童每天摄入的添加糖应少于卡路里的10%，而2岁以下儿童则应该避免食用添加糖的食物或饮料。

Yet prior research has found that on average, infants consume a teaspoon of added sugar a day while toddlers consume about 6 teaspoons a day.

然而，先前的研究发现，婴儿平均每天摄入1茶匙添加糖，而幼儿每天约摄入6茶匙。

Added sugars are used in processed foods and beverages to sweeten, and differ from the natural sugars that are part of a piece of fruit or glass of milk. However, while 100% fruit juice may appear to offer the same nutritional benefit as whole fruit, in reality it does not, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

据美国儿科学会称，加工的食物或饮料中会添加糖以增加甜度，与水果或牛奶中含有的天然糖分不同。尽管100%的果汁可能看起来跟完整的水果具有相同的营养价值，但实际上并非如此。
