英語時差:Vitamins 維他命
Multivitamin tablets. You can buy them very easily in supermarkets or pharmacies. Whether British people take multivitamins every day? No, I don’t take them every day. But I can’t speak for everyone, so let’s meet someone who can tell us more. My name is Louis Brassy. I’m a so-called general practitioner doctor in the centre of London. I’m one of two doctors working in our clinic and between us we have, let’s say, 3,500 patients. It’s a very busy clinic and Dr. Brassy is an experienced family doctor. So let’s hear what he thinks about taking multivitamin tablets. Is it common? It’s certainly not as common as the Americans. Most American patients that I know would religiously take vitamins every day. We always make the point that, outside overt vitamin deficiencies for specific vitamins, which is kind of rare, just taking multivitamins there’s no evidence they will provide any benefits to your healthcare. And in fact lots of the studies which have been done have actually shown there’s a slight increase in cancers for taking multivitamins. So what does Dr. Brassy tell his patients? In the absence of any evidence, we do supply them if people really insist, but we certainly don’t offer them on a routine basis and we don’t really recommend them. So what can we do, how can we make sure we get all the vitamins we need to stay healthy? Lots of studies have shown over and over again, that a balanced diet will provide all the vitamins that a human needs under normal circumstances, and really it's only in certain kind of very specific medical conditions that people do need to take vitamin supplements, from our point of view. And a balanced diet means a bit of everything.
