Moderator:
Good evening, ladies and gentleman. Today we are honored to have Professor Dreiser from the Johns Hopkins University. He will introduce to us the study of the relationship between health and nutrition-utilization. Professor Dreiser, please. Professor Dreiser:
Thank you for your introduction, Cara. Well, the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances can be divided into four distinct eras:
The first era began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained components that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nutrition imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.
The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called the vitamin period. Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950s to mid-1960s, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute. Together with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of undernutrition that lead to chronic health problems.
And the fourth era…
16.According to Professor Dreiser, which of the following discoveries was made during the first era in the history of nutrition?
17.What is the purpose of teaching concepts of nutrition in medical schools?
18.Why did vitamin therapy become less popular in the 1950s?
选项
A、Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.
B、Vitamins were synthesized from foods.
C、Effective measures of weight loss were determined.
D、Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health.
答案
A
解析
在对第一个时期的描述中,德莱塞博士指出,体重的迅速下降与营养摄入不均衡有关,只有通过从某些食物中摄取足量的蛋白质才能扭转这种情况。这说明人们在这个时期已经发现了摄取蛋白质的重要性,故选A;对“维生素”的探讨出现在之后的时期,故排除B项;有关“减肥的方法”和“对人体健康有害的食物”的内容并未提及,故排除C项和D项。
