Got milk? Be very afraid. Or, preferably, a bit skeptical. Some folks are about to try to convince you that milk is toxic. But the real question is, what’s more dangerous to your health; milk, or celebrities and activists embarked on the latest trendy crusade(改革)? This month marks the publicity-pumped debut of the Anti Dairy Coalition, a band of physicians, self-described "Holly-wood personalities" and others who deery what they call "the health and nutritional risks of consuming dairy products."
The coalition, including its spokes-Jeremiah, writer George Plimpton, would have you believe that milk causes heart disease, caner, infections, asthma, allergies and tuberculosis. Robert Cohen, founder of the ADC(and author of Milk: The Deadly Poison), writes: "The Fountain of Youth and cure to illness can be obtained by giving up milk."
Hyperbole aside, the ADC is spotlighting a question hotly debated by everyone from nutritionists to parents. Many patients ask doctors whether they should give up milk, like that supermodel they saw interviewed on TV. And to be sure, the ADC’s overwrought claims do have some scientific basis.
Take heart disease, Foods like butter, cheese, ice cram and milk are packed with saturated fat(饱和脂肪), which blocks arteries(动脉)and can lead to heart attacks. That’s why most nutritionists advise switching to low-fat or skim milk and eating more yogurt and cottage cheese than Haagen-Dazs and Bric. Even skim milk, though, can trigger allergies in some people, including infants, who in any case will get more iron and other key nutrient form breast milk or formula.
So must you flee from milk entirely? Yes, says Cohen, who holds that skim milk is the devil’s brew. It’s full of — are you sitting down? —protein. And here’s where the ADC starts twisting the facts to reach wild conclusions, Allergies are frequently triggered by proteins(true); asthma is an allergic condition(true); it’s been increasing dramatically(true); doctors don’t know the cause(true); therefore, the protein in milk must be the culprit(罪魁祸首)?
A similar leap of illogic assumes that because women in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden consume lots of milk and also suffer high rates of breast cancer, the former must cause the latter, Another clunker is Cohen’s claim that widespread lactose intolerance(乳糖不耐受)— the inability to digest dairy products — means milk is of little use as a source of calcium. In fact, many cases of lactose intolerance are mild and interfere only slightly with calcium uptake. Many people intolerant of milk can easily digest yogurt, and lactase tablets(乳糖分解酵素片)can make dairy products digestible even in severe cases.
If milk isn’t the perfect food, it’s still got some big things going for it. It’s an inexpensive source of calcium, protein, potassium and other vitamins and minerals, And unlike other sources of calcium, such as, say, steamed kale, milk is a food kids will eat. The ADC feels that milk is the root of most human maladies(疾病), but I can point to other single-issue obsessive who insist the villain is meat or wheat or sugar or some other substance that our species has long and happily consumed, I often learn something by examining their claims, But I keep coming back to the mainstream nutritionists, who emphasize a balanced diet and advise moderation in all things. [br] We can conclude from the passage that the writer is______.,
选项
A、an unprejudiced person
B、an opinionated person
C、a worldly person
D、a wise but peculiar person
答案
A
解析
本题为态度分析题。依据最后一段可知,作者虽然不同意ADC说牛奶是许多人类疾病的根源,但是他很赞同主流营养师的观点,觉得平衡的膳食以及对所有事物都应保持适度的摄取量,这个非常重要。由此可知,作者并非一味赞成或反对饮用牛奶,觉得最重要的是适量。A选项为“一个不偏不倚的人”符合原文的推断。B选项为“一个顽固的人”,C选项为“一个世故的人”和D选项“一个很睿智但古怪的人”,均不符合对作者的描述。因此,A选项正确。
